Ksar Ouled Debbab

Just south of Tataouine, on the road to Chenini and Douiret, this hilltop ksar has been partly restored. Its ghorfas and courtyards give a clear idea of how these granaries worked.

History

Built by the Ouled Debbab tribe to store their harvests and protect them from raids.

Customs

Easy to reach by car: a good first ksar before the more remote ones.

Food

A tea in the courtyard.

Best time

October to April.

Some ghorfas have been turned into craft shops and rooms for visitors.
