Inside these structures, normally, there would be rooms for > > travelers to be used freely and allow them to rest and recuperate. Some caravanserai had libraries and thus it has been assumed that these areas also acted as a cultural hotspots where ideas and beliefs could be shared or discussed. Many travelers from around the world will have stopped at these on their journey to the African trader centers.> link
That’s so cool, wonder about the amazing stories that must have been told at these places!
Sounds a lot like a mountain hut on the trails full of hikers taking a break for a bit only on a much bigger scale.

How does it keep from being submerged in sand? The ground around the ksar is a different shade, is that what prevents piling? Or is the area bereft of wind? Did they build the area underneath or is it naturally occurring? I have too many questions!
You would build a castle in the desert on a natural aquifier too, no? There might have been an oasis long before this was built.
This looks like it’s the size of a palm. Hard to scale
I think it’s because the dunes have the same shape as the bumps in wet sand on the beach
Worlds oldest surviving sand castle.
I find this so freaky interesting! Wow!!!
Think about the stories told, how many people passed through there, how it was build, who might have hid there!
Amazing!
Also, for the ones who read the demon cycle, this is how i imagined Ruins of Anoch Sun
Thanks
Real life Kenshi game.
I wonder if someone could get super insanely rich by building a pipeline to the middle of the desert from the ocean, digging a giant hole and building a beach resort on formerly worthless land.

Reminds me of One of the fort in Skyrim with Bandits in basement.
