Ksar el Khali is an abandoned medieval settlement located a short distance from Ouadane, offering visitors a chance to explore crumbling stone structures in a stark desert setting. The site provides a hauntingly beautiful glimpse into the past, with remnants of houses, walls, and a mosque scattered across the sand. It is less visited than Ouadane itself, making it a peaceful spot for reflection and photography. The panoramic views of the surrounding dunes and rocky plateaus are spectacular.
