Some ksour, like Ksar Ouled Soltane, can have up to 440 ghorfas, while the average is between 150 and 200.
Ghorfas are small rooms closed from the outside, designed to store food products for long periods.
Cereals were stored in the lower part, possibly separated by low walls, while olives and cheeses were hung in the upper part, ventilated by openings in the exterior and interior walls.
