🏚️ Ksars of the World

These are notable ksars — the fortified communal granary-villages of the Maghreb and the Sahel, high-walled storehouses where a Berber or Saharan community kept its grain, dates and treasures behind a single gate, from the earthen ksour of southern Tunisia and the M’zab valley to the great mud-brick ksars of Morocco and the desert edges of the Sahara. Each profile shows where the ksar stands, which country it is in, and a plain-English introduction from Wikipedia.
