A look around Ras El Maten will reveal a number of interesting sights; On a high hill stands a large serial, or government house, built by the Lamaayeen princes in 1775. Much older, are the ancient tombs carved into the rocky cliffs and headlands, while just below the village, the refuge of a holy woman, Sitt Sarah can be found in a rock-scattered field. According to the legend, a rock miraculously opened into a cave to shelter Sitt Sarah from danger. Carved from living stone, the site is an ancient tomb chamber. Hikers should also ask about the Grotto of Hiskan, which is about a two hours walk from the village.
