The white part is from a shining white aluminous schistus, that separates into minute flakes like snow. The ground had in many places the appearance of being covered with snow." They now got on the plain of the Kesar Jenoun. Let any one imagine ruinous cathedrals and castles; these we had in every position, and of every form. That is the fact; some particular demon inhabits each.
Not far off, towards the west, are some magnificent ruins of an ancient city, called Kesar Farâoun, or "Castle of Pharoah." Dubdu, called also Doubouton, is an ancient, large city, of the district of Shaous, and once the residence of an independent prince, but now fallen into decay on account of the sterility of its site, which is upon the sides of a barren mountain.
We should not have found words sufficiently strong to express our reprobation of such priestly intolerance and wickedness. Slaves very sensible to the Cold. Well of Tasellam. Saharan Huntsman. Atmospheric Phenomenon. My Adventure at the Palace of Demons. Denham and Oudney's Account of the Kesar Jenoun. The Genii of Mussulmans. Desert Pandemonium compared with that of Milton.

And you travel to El-Jibel, where are houses and a Kesar for troops. And near El-Gibel, in all the countries you find olive-trees and fig-trees, as far as the other mountains westward.

Towards noon we had a full view of the celebrated Kesar Jenoun "Palace of Demons," to the west; in coming to Ghat we had it on the east. As we neared it, Haj Ibrahim said to me, "Well, Yâkob, we must go and see the great Palace of Demons. We must see what it is, and you must write all about it." At 4 o'clock P.M., we encamped right opposite its eastern side.
The present race of Touaricks are, indeed, giants compared to some of our pigmy European nations. Oudney made an excursion to Janoun, the Kesar Jenoun. He says, "Our servant Abdullah accompanied me. He kept at a respectable distance behind. When near the hill, he said, in a pitiful tone, 'There is no road up. I told him we would endeavour to find one.

"First Tripoli, and not far from it are palms of El-Hamabaj, and a mosque El-Kajeej. You then proceed to Gargash, in which are palms, and along the road the Kesar Jahaly. And you proceed to Seid, where are palms and the Indian fig. You go on to Zaweeah, where are palms, houses, and a Kesar for troops, and a Zaweeah for the reading of The Sublime Koran, and mosques.
