Outside Timimoun or تيميمون lies a series of Ksars or Castles built into the stone hills that are still occupied today. Many years ago, Saharan people would create these ksars as places to hide and defend themselves against Saharan enemies. They could see an enemy from a distance with a high vantage point and retreat to their castle to protect their people and food from the intruders. They could also signal other nearby castles of the danger. These places are truly amazing and yet totally open to explore. In many countries, they would be museums, but in Algeria everything is open for you to see first hand.
