Guermassa is a ruined Berber village in the Tataouine district in southern Tunisia. Located on a hilltop near a modern village of the same name, Douiret was a fortified granary, or ksar plural ksour. Like other ksour created by North African Berber communities, Douiret was built on a hilltop to help protect it from raiding parties. Douiret is a regular stop on southern Tunisia`s ksar trail, along with the villages of Chenini, Ksar Ouled Soltane and Ksar Hadada.n
