French: Vallée du M'Zab
The M'Zab Valley is a World Heritage site in Algeria defined by the UNESCO in 1982 and definitely a recommended cultural sightseeing location.
It is on position 408 (39) in our monthly survey..
"A traditional human habitat, created in the 10th century by the Ibadites around their five ksour (fortified cities), has been preserved intact in the M’Zab valley. Simple, functional and perfectly adapted to the environment, the architecture of M’Zab was designed for community living, while respecting the structure of the family. It is a source of inspiration for today’s urban planners."
