Ksar El Khorbat

A well-restored fortified village in the Tinejdad oasis of the Dades, with an oasis museum and courtyard guesthouses. A popular stop on the way to the desert.

Located in Tinejdad about 45 km east of Tinghir, the entire mud-brick fortified village is still inhabited. After restoration, it houses a small museum showcasing oasis life, Berber dress and artifacts. The lanes have covered walkways that stay cool in summer. The museum admission is about 20 dirhams, and you can have lunch at the restaurant on site. It is often combined with the Todra Gorge and Merzouga on the same route.
