Welcome to Taghit the old castle قصر تاغيت Malaysia

Taghit Castle: A Millennium-Old Fortress in the Sahara Desert In this video, we explore the rich history of the old k'sar in Taghit Algeria, a remarkable structure that has stood proudly for over a thousand years. Built by the Amazigh people in the 11th century, this fortress served as both a safeguard for the town of Taghit and a bustling hub for trade. Located in the Mzab Valley within the Sahara Desert, Taghit Castle is unique in that it has access to a reliable water source. This made it a strategic stronghold for the Amazigh, who were keen on preserving their water supply from potential invaders. Over the centuries, the castle has weathered storms, tremors, and human intervention. In the 1980s, the Algerian government attempted to restore the castle, but the effort backfired, exacerbating its deterioration. In a more recent setback in 2022, a severe rainstorm led to a significant section of the wall collapsing. Despite its hardships, Taghit Castle remains an iconic landmark in Algeria. It is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the Amazigh people. #algeria #taghit #desert #تاغيت ► INSTAGRAM ►►► https://www.instagram.com/expatsteps/ ► FACEBOOK ►►► https://www.facebook.com/ExpatSteps ► SUBSCRIBE ►►► /expatsteps
