These photo take place in the Sahara Desert and Nomads. The goal of these photos is to reveal what it is like living in or visiting the Sahara Desert. Whether that is traveling the vastness of the sand dunes, or experiencing the nomadic lifestyle.
The nomads of Morocco, primarily the Berbers and Bedouins, inhabit the vast deserts and mountains. They traditionally lead a pastoral lifestyle, herding livestock and moving with the seasons. Known for their rich cultural heritage, they maintain unique traditions in music, crafts, and storytelling, reflecting their deep connection to the land.
These goats live with people living in these nomadic areas and are a source of food. When visiting, I tried to go over to them and pet them but they would always run away scared. I have been to many farms in the U.S and the goats would even let me pick them up sometimes. These goats were different. They probably had never seen such strange people like me.
The inhabitants I met were all very friendly and welcoming. They showed us around and talked to us about their lifestyle. The children were always looking to play and run around. This is the only life they know, and they could not be more happy living it.
The Sahara Desert covers over 3 million square miles of terrain. If you walk out from camp, you need to stay close because you will get lost. The sand is a bright orange, more vibrant than you would think.
The main source of traveling through the dunes is by camel. This was also a huge tourist trap. We rode a few miles on the camels through the vastness of sand dunes.
On days where its hazy, you can only see about a mile away and if you walk a mile away, chances are you are going to get lost.
