Last "ghorfas"
  • Tip Rating:
  • The "ksour" (plural of "ksar") found in the southern part of Tunisia have always a part built in ghorfas. This is now where you will the most easily see "ghorfas" as I am not sure that those shown on these pictures, taken a few years ago, are still existing.

    Some "ghorfas"
  • Tip Rating:
  • Coming from the North of Tunisia, it is in Médenine that you find the first "ghorfas". Ghorfas are cereal attics. They are built mostly with clay and strengthen with a few stones as narrow cells, each the shape of a tunnel.

    More "ghorfas"
  • Tip Rating:
  • The "ghorfas".can be built on several levels, sometimes up to 4 levels though 2 or 3 are more common. As Médenine is a main hub, with a lot of trade, there were close to 6,000 of what was called "mouth of darkness"

    ghorfas in the ksar
    In the older part of town visit the ghorfas, even if now they are only used as a tourist attraction. Ghorfas are berber arched three-storey high constructions made from mud and stone, where grain and wheat used to be stored. The one in Medenine isvery well preserved and look like a giant beehive.
