阿加德兹历史城区

以沙漠门户著称的阿加德兹位于撒哈拉沙漠南端，发展于15和16世纪阿伊尔苏丹国建立以及图阿雷格部落定居于此的时期，边界仍然是当时旧营地的边界，边界形成的街道模式至今尚在。该市的历史中心曾是商旅贸易的十字路口，共分为11个不规则的部分。这里有大量土楼和一处保存完好的宫殿式宗教建筑群，其中包括一座高达27米、完全由泥砖建造的尖塔，该尖塔在此类建筑中是全世界最高的。遗址突出部分是今天仍然沿用的祖先文化、商业和手工艺传统，是土建筑突出和精细的杰作。

Known as the gateway to the desert, Agadez, on the southern edge of the Sahara desert, developed in the 15th and 16th centuries when the Sultanate of Aïr was established and Touareg tribes were sedentarized in the city, respecting the boundaries of old encampments, which gave rise to a street pattern still in place today. The historic centre of the city, an important crossroads of the caravan trade, is divided into 11 quarters with irregular shapes. They contain numerous earthen dwellings and a well-preserved group of palatial and religious buildings including a 27m high minaret made entirely of mud brick, the highest such structure in the world. The site is marked by ancestral cultural, commercial and handicraft traditions still practiced today and presents exceptional and sophisticated examples of earthen architecture.
