Desert Nomads: French Morocco (1949)
Describes the life of nomadic families living in the Sahara Desert, particularly in Morocco near the Atlas Mountains. These families raise and sell camels, which are crucial for their survival in the harsh climate. They rely on scarce water sources, graze their animals, and move frequently to find food. Their diet consists mainly of camel and goat milk, barley, and occasionally meat. The community is structured around tribal leadership, and they maintain traditions such as prayer and communal meals. The nomads also engage in trade at a nearby city, Glamin, where they sell camels and buy essential supplies.
