Figuig (Amazigh: Ifyyey) is a town in eastern Morocco near the Atlas Mountains, on the border with Algeria. The town is built around an oasis of date palms, called ''Tazdayt'', meaning "palm tree" in the Berber language, surrounded by rugged, mountainous wilderness. Modernization has somewhat raised the standard of living, and drawn much of the town's population away, so that it is now struggling to reach stability. The town has a population of some 13,000. The Ksour Range is a mountainous area extending between Figuig and El Bayadh.〔(Montagnes des Ksour - Géographie militaire )〕 == Aghrem == Figuig consists of seven different communities (Ighermawen in South Oran Berber dialect) which are: At-Wadday, At-Amar, At-Lamiz, At-Sliman, At-Annaj, At-Addi, Iznayen. A community territory is called an ''Agram'', which is the word some local Berbers use to describe themselves in their tongue; plural ''Igramawan''. The communities are usually made up of a fortified group of houses. Many Agrams are designed with defensive measures like watch-towers and heavy doors on the main entrances, which are closed at night, as well as a mazelike layout, called an ''Abrid'' (meaning "pathway" in Berber), which makes navigation for unwanted intruders extremely difficult. Homes, or ''Tidriwin'', are extended by building rooms over the alleyways; these extensions are referred to as ''Askif''. Houses are built mainly with soil, though palm trunks (''tizidin'') and leaf-heads (''tikachba'', ''taratta'') are used in roof construction. The arrival of electricity, plumbing, and concrete construction has not essentially altered the nature of Aghram building. However, modern age buildings are being built more and more in the newly appointed area's at the edge of each "Agram". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Figuig」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
