Ksar Ouled Debbab
قصر أولاد دباب
A large granary fortress on a hilltop, partly restored into guesthouses and craft areas. It is a popular choice for experiencing a night in a ksar.
Ksar Ouled Debbab lies about 10 km southwest of Tataouine, on the road to Chenini and Douiret. The fortress sits on a small hilltop, surrounded by hundreds of multi-story vaulted granaries. Some have been restored into guesthouses, restaurants and craft shops, while unrestored sections keep their broken, original state, and the contrast is fascinating. You can have lunch here or stay the night, and watch the stars from the courtyard after dark. Entry is free, but guesthouses should be booked in advance.
