Localizzato su una cresta montuosa, difficilmente raggiungibile, ha una posizione difensiva. La struttura degli ksour di montagna solitamente tende a creare un perimetro chiuso attraverso la disposizione di affiancata delle ghorfas. Queste ultime sono l’elemento modulare degli ksour, e rappresentano l’unità di stoccaggio del grano. La ghorfa è l’elemento minimo dello ksar. È un luogo di proprietà esclusiva dove si conserva il grano e gli altri frutti del terreno. La ghorfa protegge il grano dall’umidità di risalita e dall’eccesso di calore.
