These ancestral homes were constructed with exemplary architecture and with remarkable know that shows the genius of farmers. To understand the architectural art and techniques of construction of the Ksar of Tiout, we conducted several working missions in the oasis of Tiout in the years 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. Of observations and investigations were conducted at the ksar and palm grove. The first results showed originality especially in the water supplies of ksar from an ancestral dam. Of the originalities have appeared in the construction and architecture of the Ksar. Anomalies are visible on the Ksar following the rehabilitation operation conducted in the early 2000s.
