About This Design

Old City of Ghadames Libya Postcard

Old City of Ghadames Libya Postcard

The Old City of Ghadames, known as the 'Pearl of the Desert,' is one of the most iconic pre-Saharan settlements in North Africa. Its unique architecture is a masterclass in desert adaptation, featuring thick white-washed mud-brick walls and a complex network of covered walkways that provide a natural cooling system against the intense Saharan heat. The city is vertically stratified, with the ground level used for shops and storage, while the rooftops serve as an interconnected social space traditionally reserved for women. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Ghadames represents a remarkable fusion of Berber and Arab cultural heritage. The interiors of the homes are famously vibrant, decorated with intricate red geometric patterns and brass mirrors that contrast sharply with the minimalist white exteriors. This ancient oasis town remains a symbol of architectural ingenuity and communal living, standing as a pristine example of traditional human settlement in an arid environment.

I had never seen these classic science fiction images and most of my friends have not seen them either. They are like little treasures! Amazing quality and fun to send people!

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
