Ksar Hallouf

Southern Tunisia


This 13th-century ksar (fortified granary) overlooking a picturesque valley 14km northwest of Beni Kheddache has a series of sympathetically restored ghorfas (long, barrel-vaulted rooms built to store grain). Until recently it served as a very simple but pleasant guesthouse and hopefully will again in the future. In the meantime, it is still possible to visit the building.
