Agadir Ida Ou Gnidif Fortress
The ancient agadir — a collective grain store — of the Ida Ou Gnidif tribe in the Ameln Valley above Tafraout. The agadir is the architectural form specific to the Anti-Atlas: a fortified communal granary where each family kept their season's reserves, governed by a committee and defended collectively. This one is still partially used. The carved cedar lock mechanisms are original.
