01

Understanding an ighrem or agadir

A collective granary brings individual storage spaces into a shared building. A local explanation of access, maintenance and community use helps make the architecture meaningful.

02

An arranged cultural stop

Confirm the caretaker and which spaces may be visited. Some areas may contain private belongings or be closed. Do not assume that the roof or storage compartments are accessible.

03

Rock engravings need context

Rock engravings add another perspective on regional heritage. Choose a knowledgeable guide and a confirmed permitted site; do not touch, wet, trace or remove material. Specific site access should be checked before an itinerary is offered.
