Tamezret

Ten kilometres from Matmata, Tamezret climbs a hillside at about 480 m, its stone houses stacked around a white mosque. Berber is still spoken in the village.

History

Like the other villages of the Dahar, it was built high up to watch over the plains.

Customs

Climb to the top for the view, and greet people in the lanes.

Food

Tea and flatbread in the café at the village entrance.

Best time

October to April.

A small house-museum in the village shows Berber clothes, tools and jewellery.
