The ksar is a remarkable example of southern Moroccan architecture, with a mainly collective grouping of dwellings within defensive walls that are reinforced by angle towers and pierced with a baffle gate. Inside, you will find houses of varying sizes, ranging from modest to resembling small urban castles with high angle towers and upper sections adorned with motifs in clay brick. Additionally, there are communal buildings and areas within the complex.
Take your time to soak in the sights and sounds of this incredible place before proceeding to enjoy a delicious lunch. After lunch, continue your journey to the mesmerizing desert of Merzouga, where you will have the opportunity to spend two nights in a magical Berber camp, trek atop camels, and take in the spectacular views of the Erg Chebbi dunes. Experience the beauty of the desert under the sparkling night sky, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
