The Ksour/Ksar of Ouled Abd El Halim, Rissani, Morocco
A Ksour/Ksar is walled village consisting of attached houses filled with different tribes where a Kasbah only contains one family. This Ksar dated back to the 17th century and was located only a few minutes from Rissani.
The high walls protected the inhabitants from marauding tribes and were made from lime, sand and stones. This Ksour was contained 25,000 people. Do you have any idea how many that was crammed behind these walls? My Glenview suburb of Chicago has 35,000 residents spread out over miles of land.
