Aiid El Adha au couleurs nationales

My tent at campsite on Erg Admer after sunset, erg=sand dune area in Tuareg language. Erg Admer is the closest sand "sea" to Djanet. Dunes cover only about 11% of the Sahara, Admer is a big one, a panorama will be coming soon. Water is scarce obviously, but we had enough that day to wash my head, and dry it with my T-shirt, which itself was drying on the tent as I took the photo.

i didn't have much time to bring my canon so i've used my cell phone xD

Like a bolt of life.

Market square in Ghardaia, Algeria. Ghardaia is the gateway to the Sahara desert coming south from Algiers, consisting of 5 villages of which Ghardaia is the largest and gives its name to the quintuplet "metropolis". Photography of people, especially of women, is prohibited in these villages, except this market here. The local women (none of which are in this frame), dress in white sheets with only one eye visible, local men proudly boast that women have the freedom of which eye to show, right or left (my, what great freedoms they have!). The above note is specific to the M'zab valley around Ghardaia, but I would not recommend any single woman to travel independently in Algeria. On a happier note, enjoy the exotic song below:
