The Shali fortress, built on a high hill, is surrounded by a tall wall with a main entrance called "Bab Inshal" in the Amazigh language spoken by the people of Siwa, which means "City Gate". There is also the old mosque, one of the oldest mosques in North Africa.. Prayers are being performed within the mosque, which was reopened following repair work as part of the Shali rehabilitation project in December 2015.
