Arawān (Araouane, Arouanne) was a southern entrepôt for the Saharan trade, located 243 kilometres (151 miles) north of Timbuktu (Timbuktū, Tunbuktū), in the region known as the Azawād (Azaouad), in present-day Mali. Reputedly founded c. 983/1575 by a Berber holy man from Tādamakkat (al-Sūq), Aḥmad agg Adda, the town became home to a small number of Islamic scholars from the late tenth/sixteenth century onwards. The commercial fortunes of Arawān were based on its water wells located at a crossroads of caravan traffic in the southern Sahara.
