Goulmima

Goulmima (Inspired from an amazigh word, lakes "igelmimen" of the Amazigh word (Berber languages: ⵉⴳⵯⵍⵎⵉⵎⵏ, / or ⴳⵯⵍⵎⵉⵎⴰ or Tizi n Imnayen;Arabic: ݣلميمة ، تيزي ن إمناين) is a Berber city in Morocco[2] situated in the province of Errachidia, in the region of Drâa-Tafilalet. An agricultural oasis, it is fed by the Wadi Gheris from the central High Atlas mountains. Like other settlements in Tafilalet, it was built as a fortified village or ksar. One of the most important ones, Ighrem n'Igoulmimen (Ksar Goulmima), is in the process of restoration.[3] Not just a historical location, several hundred people still live in the ksar.
