Nûl Lamta

Located in the oasis of Asrir, 13 km southeast of the city of Guelmim in southern Morocco, the town of Nûl Lamta is renowned as one of the most significant caravan and trading cities of the medieval period. Founded around the 8th century, the town flourished under the Almoravids (11th-12th century) due to its strategic geographical location and the presence of workshops dedicated to the production of shields.
