Tuareg People of the Sahara
Listed under Traditional Cultures in Al Qubbah, Libya.
These nomadic people are the Sahara’s main inhabitants and have been travelling the desert in their camel caravans for over two thousand years.

Travelling with them offers a total emersion into the regal grace and silence of their desert traditions.
