The Great Erg, Algerian Sahara
The Great Erg, Algerian Sahara
PHOTOGRAPHER: PATRICK JAMES MICHEL
My friend Abdul and I were driving between the 300m high dunes, no one other than a Tuareg could know the passages in this sea of sand. Since ancient Egypt, caravans have used these old dry riverbeds. The life of the Tuaregs is that of nomadic shepherds, challenged by a unkind environment, but stunned by the so-called progress of our sedentary civilization with which they what nothing to do.
