KSAR EZZAHRA

This ksar is the first mountain ksar south of Tataouine with its 270 perfectly preserved ghorfas. It is in fact two ksour: an old one of square shape (50 m of diameter) and a more recent one (Ksar Jedid) of rectangular shape (70 meters on 90). A covered entrance(skifa) connects the two parts. This ksar has been restored. Some ghorfas of the recent part are still in use. It is a perfect illustration of the mountain ksour , which succeeded the citadel ksour. Easier of access, they have an agricultural function!
