This huge ksar (traditional fortified granary) sits on a low hill just east of the modern village of Debbab. It was occupied until several years ago, and most of the buildings are still in good condition. There’s a sealed road leading up to the entrance gate from Debbab; the walk takes about 20 minutes.
