This is a relatively little visited ksar (Berber fortified granary), which is a shame because it almost rivals Oued Soltane as the best in the region. It is almost uniformly four storeys of ghorfas (grain stores) in fine condition with two courtyards, many staircases and multilayered tiers. You'll almost certainly have the place to yourself, making it an extra treat to explore.
