People of the Sahara (the Saharwi)

You know you are truly remote when the name of the place, mentioned by your guide, does not show up on any map or internet site. This is the area called Laark, where the nomadic Tuaregs live in utterly primitive conditions, in a few makeshift tents spread over a wide horizon, deriving water from artesian wells and food from their collection of lambs, chicken and donkeys. And simple trades such as bartering and weaving. A place straight out of Mad Max.

Even in such harsh conditions, you can always count on a spot of mint tea.
