Musée des Oasis
About This Museum
People come to the Musée des Oasis not just to see artifacts, but to truly understand the soul of the desert. Tucked within the ancient, earthen walls of Ksar Elkhorbat, this museum feels less like a building and more like a living storybook. You walk through cool, dimly lit rooms and suddenly grasp the brilliant complexity of Saharan life—from intricate water management systems that defy the arid landscape to the vibrant textiles woven by hand. It’s a quiet, humbling place that completely redefines what you thought you knew about this region.
Collection Highlights
The detailed model of a khettara (an underground irrigation canal) is a marvel of ancient engineering, while displays of traditional Berber jewelry and wedding costumes shimmer with incredible detail.
Visitor Information
Finding it is part of the adventure—look for the signs in Tinejdad leading you into the labyrinth of the old ksar. The peace and quiet here are a welcome break from the busier tourist trails.
Architecture & Building
The museum is seamlessly built into the restored mud-brick fortifications of a centuries-old ksar, with soaring ceilings and narrow passageways that are as fascinating as the exhibits inside.
