Tuareg: The Warriors of the Dunes | Go Wild

This documentary will take us to one of the most hostile habitats of the planet: the grand Sahara desert. The Tuaregs are also known as the “Blue Men” due to the colour adopted by their skin, soaked by the indigo used to dye their veils. They have always been feudal lords who dominated this immense territory. They assaulted caravans and controlled the routes. Travellers always feared them for their fierceness and ferocity. They are untamed people, impossible to subjugate. Their strict rules, where honour and hospitality are among the main ones, determine the life of their different tribes. We will travel next to the Madugu, who lead their salt caravans through the Tenere, a desert within a desert, also known as the “Anvil of the Sun”. We will know their customs, their beliefs and their way of life and we will discovery the challenges they face today to continue living as they have always done: with no borders or governments.

I was enlisted in the FFL (long since separated) In Algeria. Things happened and I got lost. The Tuareg people found me. I lived amongst them for over 3 months. I was cared for and treated well. There are days I wish I could return.

[@thelostcosmonaut5555]

Sounds like something from a movie. I have long entertained the idea of joining the FFL and meeting the Tuareg people.

THE BEST IS TO TRAVEL, SOLO, AND FIND A NICE HERBERGE, AND STAY THERE FOR WEEKS, HELPING FINDING WOOD TO BURN, ETC, AND PAYING, AND REALY LET THE DESERT ENTER ONE'S BODY. THIS SILENCE... INVADES ONE'S MIND...RELAXES ALL BRAIN ACTIVITY... WELL, IT MUST BE EXPEARIENCED, I CANNOT EXPLAIN IN WORDS. THE DESERT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING THROUGH HIS SILENCE. (I recommend L'Herberge De Sud, in Merzouga.) ⭐

[@sisselhansen3915]

Hello! I was, some 14ys, ago, in Merzouga, staying at a wonderful herberge, L'Herberge De Sud, owned by Sir Muhammed... he had found water, there.. and another Muhammed, a real artist, was making wonderful rooms, each room different, and we had an agregat which made 1 h eletricity each evening. But one evening we heard the Real Tuareqs, who were drumming and singing wildly, far away, but it was so magic to hear them 😍💝😃 it dragged me into fantasies. Because for me, staying there, in the Desert, was a holy expearience I'll always remember, ofcourse. Tourists came, ate, and went, in those fourwheel -cars, without capturing the Silence of The Desert.. they just babbled away...but I stayed. I played tamboures w the berbers who worked & lived on that Herbergue. It was purifying, energizing, it's an experience you all should try!! The people are so good, there!! And they treat the dromedars very, very well! Chocran, Morocco ❤
