Ksar Maadid
قصر المعاضيد
A large adobe fortress village north of Erfoud with high walls, towers and dark winding lanes where people still live.
Maadid is one of the better-preserved traditional ksour (fortified Berber villages) in the Ziz River valley. Surrounded by tall rammed-earth walls and square corner towers, its narrow, winding alleys are dim and contain a mosque, wells and traditional houses. It is ringed by palm oases. Since people still live there, it is best to visit with a local guide and give a tip. It is about 10 minutes' drive from Erfoud.
