Tamdoult

Tamdoult was a medieval oasis town south of the Anti-Atlas, near Akka in southern Morocco. It stood in a landscape of mines and metalworking sites, where silver, lead and copper were produced or worked. Irrigated fields supported the settlement in an otherwise dry region, while caravan routes connected it with the wider Maghreb and the Sahara. The ruins preserve traces of its town, industrial areas and old irrigation works.
