We visited a ksar, fortified village or castle that is found throughout southern Morocco  especially along old caravan routes in the Sahara and Atlas Mountains.

It’s an essential part of Berber and pre-Saharan architecture, blending defense and community living.

The nursery school was particularly poingnat.  One teacher (no aide) to about 30  three and four year-olds.
