Western Sahara

Published on 2 October 2026 · International

In the badia, in the heart of Western Sahara, Sahrawi families live in tents and carry on their pastoral activities, particularly with dromedaries. Near the sand wall built by Morocco from the 1980s onwards, daily life revolves around travel, herds and pastoralism.

In this desert environment, the gestures of daily life are passed down from generation to generation, at the pace of the seasons and the conditions of the desert.
