Ancestral Architecture and Heritage

Once you set foot in Afella Ighir, you are offered a perfect setting for a postcard: a charming village lying between the rough mountain wall with its long alleyways and traditional mud brick houses, which is one of the oldest parts of the city. However, it isn’t just the picturesque architecture that entices tourists, but the lively natural wonder in the middle of the village. This resilient green island is a reflection of nature’s strength as well as the creativeness of the community of villagers.

Embracing Tranquility

Afella Refuge reminds the tortured people of the city rush and excessive pace of modern life. Its serene arms hold the visitors and, in doing so, make the world stand still with all its breathless sufferings. Surrounded by lush palm groves, laying low and yet very green, healthy fronds fill the air with large intakes of breath and a gentle rustling breeze, contributing to the cozy melodies of nature. Generous palms of date trees are the only shade in which restless seekers of peace would regain their serenity; their heartache drowns in the tranquility of life. Entering this boundless, eternal realm is like a sort of “insurance,” where every moment is a post, where careful observation and regeneration are possible. Afella Ighir is a home away from home, a sanctuary where all the bounds of a chaotic world are relegated to nothing when a soul comes here to make it a haven.
