La randonnée
A stage of the Grande Traversee du Dahar from the granary fortress of Ksar Hallouf, over its hidden oasis and jessour terraces, through Zammour to Beni Kheddache.
Ksar el Hallouf stands on a limestone shelf over its valley: about 200 ghorfas, vaulted granary cells, on two storeys around a courtyard, where the families of the Dahar stored their harvests. Opposite lies a two-hectare mountain oasis of palms, pears, pomegranates and apples, and the valley floors are stepped with jessour, the dry-stone terraces that catch the runoff for olives and grain. The route climbs out of the valley to the Berber village of Zammour and on to Beni Kheddache, whose weekly market and ksar close the day. It follows part of the signed 194 km Grande Traversee du Dahar.
