Ktawa (ksour de)
Create the Great Book with our AIRegion: Maroc (vallée du Drâa, province de Zagora)
Intersection register · custodian, not owner
The Drâa valley (province of Zagora, Morocco) contains a series of ksour, some of which, known as Ktawa, welcomed Jewish communities as early as the Middle Ages. These Jews of the Drâa played a determining role in the circuits of trans-Saharan trade (Sudanese gold, Saharan salt, spices) and in Berber goldsmithing. Most emigrated to Ouarzazate, Casablanca, or Israel in the 1950s–1960s.
