Ksar Hallouf
قصر الحلوف
A cluster of fortified granaries in the mountains of Medenine Governorate, built along a ridge with open views over the valley. Often paired with Ksar Hadada.
Ksar Hallouf lies about 45 km north of Tataouine, in the mountains near Beni Hedi in Medenine Governorate. Built around the 13th century, its granaries line the ridge. Some have been restored, and a simple guesthouse once operated here. From the fortress you can look over an olive-dotted valley and the plain beyond, with wide, open views. It marks the end of the northern Tataouine fortress route, which can be continued north from Hadada and Ghomrassen, or visited on the way to Djerba. Entry is free, but the roads twist a lot, so drive with care.
