Said's take on the desert photos

Said took a look at our "tuaregs" courtesy of the iPad. He had some interesting observations.
Towa is not Tuarog but in fact a Shambi, Bedouin tribesmen who don't enjoy a reputation for honesty and integrity.
M'hamid is probably Malian, certainly not Tuarog.
Abdullah is classic Tuarog.
The way turbans (cheche) are tied is significant. Abdullah exposes a small amount of hair to indicate he is single.

Dinner last night was Shorba (soup) followed by bourek, Turkish originally but this with Algerian touch. Derricious.

Majeb was the name of the street food.
