Inside these structures, normally, there would be rooms for > > travelers to be used freely and allow them to rest and recuperate. Some caravanserai had libraries and thus it has been assumed that these areas also acted as a cultural hotspots where ideas and beliefs could be shared or discussed. Many travelers from around the world will have stopped at these on their journey to the African trader centers.> link
That’s so cool, wonder about the amazing stories that must have been told at these places!
So, you all meet in the inn deep in the vast desert… Let’s go around the table and describe your characters…
Half-Jinn warrior from Cairo, equally offended by white actors in bronzer and the blue man group.
In one of these I’m pretty sure you can learn a new dragon shout.
Sounds a lot like a mountain hut on the trails full of hikers taking a break for a bit only on a much bigger scale.
There’s a movie at that link of walking through the building, it’s really cool!
Built on a natural outcrop, most are or were also likely on top of accessible aquifers.
Thank you. I couldn’t figure out how in the world they managed to get mud or even mortar to build a structure like that, in such an environment. I don’t know why “dig a well” was the farthest thing from my mind.
How does it keep from being submerged in sand? The ground around the ksar is a different shade, is that what prevents piling? Or is the area bereft of wind? Did they build the area underneath or is it naturally occurring? I have too many questions!
I’m imagining one poor caretaker with a leaf blower lol

Fine. A broom blower.
maybe what we see is just the tip
This reminds me of the buried library in Avatar 🦉
Same lol that’s immediately what I thought of.
Have we checked it for Wan Shi Tong?
I’m not going in there, he knows Foggy Swamp Style!!
Real life Kenshi game.
Ehhhhhhh, now there’s a lemming after my heart. Very nice!
I want to fill it with cheesecake and bake it.
In Algerian desert, desert bakes you!
I find this so freaky interesting! Wow!!!
Think about the stories told, how many people passed through there, how it was build, who might have hid there!
Amazing!
Also, for the ones who read the demon cycle, this is how i imagined Ruins of Anoch Sun
Looks like someone left the Coliseum in the sun for too long.
Reminds me of One of the fort in Skyrim with Bandits in basement.
Fossilised sandworm
Like some randomly generated structure you’d find in an empty area of an open world game. Has monsters in the basement and loot
