Menjez, Aakkar district

The Heritage House of Menjez presents the exhibition of "Dolmens" prehistoric megaliths. Panels, movies, models and engraved rocks explain how, why and when men built dolmens for their dead.

The archaeological excavations of the Jesuit father M. Tallon s.j. in the 1960s revealed a large number of dolmens in Menjez (more than 100). The studies of T. Steimer in 1995 date and give the keys to understanding these prehistoric monuments. With funds from the British Council, the town of Menjez in Aakkar offers a hiking circuit to discover 11 dolmens. It is possible to visit the monuments through the paths of a preserved environment, alone or with a guide.
