In the middle of the ancient rock fortress of Tegharghar
is a series of natural water springs of which the most
important is Tiyinen. An endangered species of monkeys
have been living here for as long as can be remembered.
This is the natural environment where the nearly extinct
desert mountain goats may be found. At Tinfinssa, the
well-known legend amongst the local population of the
seven sleepers of the cavern of the sourate ELKAHF allegedly
occurred in this place. The remains of an ancient village
named Tinfinsa and a grotto closed by a rock too large
for a human to have moved are the last vestiges of this
great legend.
