- The Sahara is the biggest desert on earth ... it takes its name from the Arab word for "emptiness". In the dead heart of that emptiness there's a place called the Tenere. The Tenere takes its name from the Tuareg word for "nothing". A nothing the size of France in the middle of an emptiness the size of the United States. It's no wonder the locals call this place "The Land Of Fear”. David Adams retraces the trade routes of the people who call this stove-hot corner of the planet home.

What I love about this documentary is their way of life. Please do not destroy these beautiful camels, these Nobel people. So regal, so gracious. This is true desert culture. Sincere. My Blessings and my protection....
Am proud to be one of them ❤
Fascinating video. I absolutely love the CZcams channel.
Amazing footage of the Sahara Desert!
A footage claiming the sand dune mountain without a skateboard for roller coaster slides is not Fun.
I'm sure the Tuareg are making the ''really old'' swords today.
They are no fools :)
If the chap with the infected hand doesn't get decent antibiotics, he could be in dire trouble.... looked so painful.
Desiccated is right. Good thing There weren't any uprisings during filming.
So much cultural beauty in such a harsh environment.
This man is a legend.
Starting at18:40the desert guide's song is so peaceful and haunting. Though he says they're about battle, I think this 1 is about peace and love. ☮✌🏼
One of the best recent channels I've discovered! I subscribed ASAP! Netflix has very few of these kinds of documentaries. The wealth of knowledge in every video is astounding!
conyo985 I know right this channel is a goldmine
Pleasant to discover the nomadic history of African diverse cultural heritage. This remind me of current Russian Ukraine conflict. The impact of this war maims this group Elite ready out of possible invasion of vast dessert land invasion and are properly deemed as potential terrorist before policies that doesn't favour them take effect. The part of these vast lands belonging to this tribes are often protected under the UNESCO Heritage protection. President Putin should stop these barbaric war in Ukraine before allies to President Putin, not necessary Russia, based on political interest engages in a relatively counteroffensive intrusion on the continent of Africa.
@@TheMarshalMurat gold in abundance by right not by force. Africa is populated by Golden opportunity.
Just saw this today. Arrived via Mdou Moctar, "Tala Tannam". Brilliant shot of the caravan over the horizon, just after the equally brilliant capture of spontaneous human reaction from your fellow travelers to your downhill dune endeavor. Excellent Job! Thank You.
Alik'r I swear.Redguards defined.Beautiful people and country🤩Love this.
Omg i LOVE documentary like this!😍
This documentary was amazing I hope one day I can travel the world and have some of these experiences myself. With the places, the people, and the different cultures. There all so unique and beautiful. It truly is fascinating indeed.
You're welcome BEAUTY & SKINCARE...
Just have money and you can

Exactly.@@Slimenator
Tuareg man speaking impeccable English.
Good man. He keeps his prayers
“The sheltering sky” brought me here. Awesome doc 👏🏻
I wonder where and how they are all doing now. Really enjoying these 'Golden Oldies '. I hope the young lad recovered well.
Amazing documentary
Very interesting thank you.
Beautiful
I'm appalled the host would feel entitled to dig his dirty hands into a seller's merchandise 3:00! You're a visitor to their stall, respect other's property/personal space.
I was Just thinking how offended the guys behind him looked when I came across this comment, lol!
I am sure he would have to pay for that bowl of salt..otherwise, it's rude!
These people live a beautiful life
*takes a fistful of salt off the sale display* me: "well that was rude" lol
You'd think so, but not in the Sahara. If it's for sale then it's on offer. Everybody just grabs a taste then decides what it's worth to them, then you try to see how close you and the seller can get to an agreeable price.
Skiing in the desert, what a nut! LOL looks like a blast
Driving in the scotching dessert with Jeep should be well prepared by ensuing that you have spare brown new tyres and " Front Wheels Tyre chains" to prevent puncture or deflated tyres. I thought you might sprinkle some water on the tyres to moisture the hot sand. Nice to see you guys on the way before sunset catches up.
Very good
How did the white guy not burn to crisp crossing the desert without a turban and face covering?
Because he is Australian! 🤭🤣...
@@moiragoldsmith7052 lol no wonder xD
Simple. Sunscreen.
Interesting
I love my contry 🇳🇪🇳🇪🇳🇪🇳🇪🇳🇪Niger
Hoya i once was a wealthy man too that got caught up a rebellion of sorts i had everything now i have nothing faith n health thats it. Hang in there be stronger than me
If they did raids with swords that's an absolute Chad move
charming
I like your channel but the amount of unskippable ads is very distracting
Get Adguard ..it is great. Zero ads.
the amount of ads though
Love desert our moon 🎑
4:04 Our police here in sweden wore swords till the 60s..

Show from about 18 years ago, but a good one. Camels really moan and groan when asked to do anything.
I have been to Agadez. It was hot. Friendly people though. Very friendly.
My people
I tried to do that tongue thing at 5:53, that's impressive lol
@H P I couldn't do it lol
Ululating...I first heard it on European TV after Twin Towers were hit.... women were doing it in the streets in 'celebration'.
@@Oakleaf700 I hadn't thought about it like that I didnt know it was the same noise. That's odd to me that that was going on in the streets, that's definitely not common here
@@yoyofun1 no women were celebrating the twin towers collapsing in the streets. that's not a thing. it never happened.
@@cleareyedliar I was raised to respect all cultures and beliefs. I was also taught that "ululation" was an expression of strong emotion, alot of times grief like losing a loved one
I figured that was misinterpreted as celebrating someone's death as far as the media goes
Thought that was gordan ramsey in the thumbnail.
I was once beating by a turwaric man very hardly he hit me with his sword until I passed out,but thank God I survive it❤

Why was someone saying give me my card, was someone been Rob? I hear like give me repeat more than once.
anyone else wanna talk about how he skied on a sand dune? what was going through the others heads? 'is this white guy nuts?'
❤
Not worth his Salt, for a Slacking Soldier.
Adams' commentary really doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
When questioned about some of the documentary's content he was quite defensive.
"Men like these." Well, they don't seem that different than men anywhere. They worry about their family, they love their kids, they want respect and are offended when it isn't given.
Sure they dress differently, they have a different culture (that isn't *THAT* different. All of these differences are really just superficial. If you deal with them honestly and give the respect you would give anyone else and they will become your friend. Disrespect one... Well, just hope you can run a long way really fast, with no water.
pretty much, cultures can differ violently, some not even operating in the same century by all empiric measure... but base motivations are remarkably universal. Keep your wits and respect the former.. till you tap into the latter. Friends can be anywhere, but never jump past the former.
@Caitlin Dent My point, Caitlin Dent, is that "men like these." are not any different than men of any other place.
Men everywhere take hostages and rob people. But most men are honest don't do that.
Now, point to where I said I thought everything was perfectly safe? Can't find it? That's because I didn't say it.
Why not drop the racist attitude? Do you think *YOU* are perfectly safe in *YOUR* community? Or when you are out do you keep a lookout for people who might be paying you too much attention.
@Caitlin Dent My original point was that people are not different. Your comment seemed extremely racist, because it implies *ALL* of them kidnap (take hostages) and rob people.
I do agree with you on one point. This conversation is not worth having. Most people on the internet will double down rather than admit they were wrong and you are doing exactly that.
You misunderstood my point, which is a perfectly reasonable mistake, especially as I'm on the "spectrum" and I'm not very good at expressing myself. (Note: I am admitting that your failure to understand may have been my fault, not yours).
At the same time, I often misunderstand others.
Do you think these people don't have the same emotions as you have? Do you think they respond to respect or disrespect differently than you would?
Sure, they might take different actions, but they have the same emotional responses that we do.
Remember kids, when losing an argument, just keep claiming the other person is racist.
@@LegendofLaw I don't use the term racist lightly.
What? They orchestrated a rebellion with swords?
AAAAA I WANNA D0 THIS S0 BAD
👍
This are the people killing our brothers and sisters in the desert.very wicked
why are you in the desert in the first place...lol you go to their territories and take their land what did you expect?
@@wewenang5167not there land they are hlfbred half berber and west African the land in question belongs to west africans our ancestors originated in the sahara when it was green the berbers chased our ancestors further south there’s evidence of our existence in north Africa and the sahel they weren’t invaded they are minority there the area belongs to the songhai,peulh and other west African cultural groups that’s why niger is considered west African the berbers try to steal it like they did mauritania from the soninke
Lol how arrogant to assume a culture holder than your religion is using your sign and so got it from you.
Definitely 2000 years behind the modern world lol. I won't ever be going here thats for sure. Interesting video nonetheless.
There*, not here
yeh this coming from someone named Pagan shagger lol...who are the one behind i wonder xD
Great. They're better off without you going there.
Why not I think it would be nice to go and see this beautiful place in person, nothing can really be understood or felt the way it does in person.
Apparently they are lovely people. And deserts are beautiful in their own ways too. Too bad for that guy that he's too shallow and stupid to see that.
Thirst.
Legend has it that they are waiting for their Lisan al-Gaib to lead them out of the desert
on a Jihad that will engulf the world.
You have a screwed up idea of what Jihad means.
That is the most racist title I have ever seen!
It’s pronounced Nee-jerh or Nyh-jer depending if it’s an American English speaker
No it’s not racist. It’s the name of a country on the continent of Africa
@Why? Just because its in Africa there is no need for the racism.
Why? Please don’t blame us all for the poor joke they tried to make.
Gwendolyn Campbell me and my good friend azomat were reading your page and have just one question... How much do you cost gypsey?
