Housing in the Ksar

Inside the Ksar, the houses include:

• A stable for mules and cows.

• A barn for straw and alfalfa for the animals.

• Stores for grain, dates, oil and other foods.

• One or two kitchens.

• Some rooms used as dining rooms, sitting rooms and bedrooms.

• A guestroom.

The structure of the houses varies from valley to valley. In Ziz and Drâa, the houses are large and built around a central courtyard. In Todra and Dadès, they are higher but much smaller. In Ferkla, the houses are combination of the two aforementioned forms.
