Goulmima
Goulmima (Arabic: ݣلميمة ، تيزي ن إمناين) is a town in Morocco[2] situated in the province of Errachidia, in the region of Drâa-Tafilalet. An agricultural oasis, it is fed by the Wadi Gheris from the central High Atlas mountains. Like other settlements in Tafilalet, it was built as a fortified village or ksar. One of the most important ones, (Ksar Goulmima), is in the process of restoration.[3] Not just a historical location, several hundred people still live in the ksar.
