The most important sight of the place is the Ksar, built from rammed earth, which consists of two fortified courtyards with vaulted storage chambers (ghorfas) arranged one above the other on several floors. The stepping stones in front of the entrance doors of the approximately 400 chambers were accessible via movable palm trunks with notched steps, ladders or brick stairs. The chambers served as storage rooms for supplies (grain, oil, dried beans, lentils, dates, etc.) and other belongings (household and work tools, weapons) for the semi-nomadic (transhumance) families of the place.
