From the main road a bumpy road leads through the river bed which is mostly dry and along the vegetable gardens to the village. In the shadow of the houses men are chatting about everyday life. The village counts about one hundred inhabitants.There is a mosque, a primary school and a shop and on a hill the Riad du Sud, the only hotel in the village. People live from agriculture.Despite the dry climate different wells produce sufficient water for the residents and for irrigation of the gardens. You can easily walk around and some residents are glad to invite you at their home to enjoy the traditional tea. In earlier times, the village and the area was guarded. Witness are the watchtowers on the hills.
