An oasis that has existed despite the winds of modernity that blow on it from all sides,
steadfast in the face of the vicissitudes of time, preserving its originality and its engineering character.
It is the oasis of 'Ich', which represents the northern end of the oases of southern Morocco.
The Ksar of 'Ich' had given great sacrifices for the success of the Algerian revolution against the French invaders.
However, instead of being rewarded for its good deed, it was met with denial. As the revolution had almost culminated in independence and the Moroccans and Algerians rejoiced in victory, a war broke out between the two sides, from which the Ksar of 'Ich' suffered a lot since it was occupied for six months.
'Ich' people inherited one of the most difficult and complex problems after the departure of French colonists from the region.
It is the problem of determining the political borders between the two countries, Morocco and Algeria.
It is an oasis surrounded by bad political conditions that plunge it into severe problems.
But despite that, it promises a lot.
The beauty of its picturesque nature, the unique architecture of its Ksars, and its ancient rock carvings are qualifications that make it a promising tourist destination.
