The camel is such an underrated creation. Just a blessing of a beast. There is no other creation that comes close to its endurance. A vehicle for trans Sahara e-commerce for thousands of years.
Very beautifully narrated video. I was there in 1984 with my wife, three children under five and a Land Rover. We had no back-up other than 200 litres of diesel and 120 litres of water. We had our adventures and congratulate you on yours. We still have our Agadez crosses from the local silversmiths and our memories.
Beautiful documentary. This is the route I exactly followed in January 1991. By far the most extraordinary trip I ever did. And I had the chance to meet with Mano Dayak, the most famous Tuareg who tried to defend his people and culture and who unfortunately died in 1995.
"...exactly followed in January 1991" I dont mean to bring down the positive tone of your comment, but emphasising... a bit misleading by Adams to pretend he is a new age Sir Richard Burton like adventurer.
OMG, this is the best video I have seen yet ... I was totally mesmerized by the landscapes and animals.... David's empathy and respect for their the culture is spot on....
Are you sure? Like it seems like at every turn he's bashing on them for being "primitive" or "violent". He seems like he's being passive aggressive and stereotyping. Like the way people live is dependent on so many factors. You can't call anyone primitive, just different.
Wow that’s the real free life.. I was born in Africa but I had never explored Africa I really want to go in adventure trip like that ....my beautiful mother Africa
I just wonder why great works of art, masterpieces, make me shed tears, kudos , one of the best "documentary videos" I've seen, impeccable potography and narrative...
The Tuareg are incredible people. The likes of you and i would not last much more than a day in that desert. It has a very alluring...but deadly beauty about it.
I mean, you could say that about any people. The tuareg would not last a day in somewhere like Norway, either.. People adapt and learn how to live in their particular climate zones.
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath I think that's a fair comment. The tuareg have adapted to their environment extremely well..as have Norwegian people to theirs. Neither would probably do very well if they swapped environments. I dont cope with heat or cold very well so i'm screwed either way 😉
Amazing documentary I’m from Algeria and Touareg are actually my people, they’re very brave generous and knowledgeable, look at that guide I believe he never went to school but he speaks English, I live in the USA now and I see people from around the world don’t speak English as he does Thanks for the awesome documentary
Very educative and informative, i enjoyed every piece of it. Though my country Nigeria shared boarder with Niger Republic (about 200km from my home state Sokoto) but this is the first time I'm seeing desert, and the tuareg culture. Indeed God is great!
I have a slight obsession with desert peoples (both hot and cold deserts). It amazes me that they not only survive in the most inhospitable environments, but also manage to produce beautiful objects (e.g. camel bags, jewellery).
Really enjoying this, it's like an old fashioned adventure novel or something. Most other documentaries made about African countries tend to only focus on how miserable they are.
@@tardigrade9493 As a female, I agree. Women are a gift from the Creator!! Shameful to treat any of God's creations so terribly. Change must come. The "Golden Rule" tells a lot about a person's character, strong men are good examples (not meaning in physical strength) :-) watch those families where females and animals bloom, bc they are respected, and loved. Huge difference. Also equality. Want love?? Give love...... I get off my soapbox now. :-) Next??? my best. (working together is where it is @!!)
My Dad always would say. if you would not want this to happen to you, then Do Not Do it!! We all have choices. Make them lovingly and wisely too. :-) everything is a chain reaction..... smile....
One of the most fascinating voyages I have ever had the pleasure to watch on a TV screen . A highly commendable visual documentation David , of your enviable adventure with the Tuaregs & their camels , over the Tenere Desert. Love your exceedingly educative commentary too . Amazing .
"They don't camp within 5 miles of water so their children won't take it for granted" That's possibly the most profound statement I've ever heard about something so basic and taken for granted by so many people.
Amazing documentary. What an incredible people the Tuareg are, nothing but respect and admiration for them and their way of life. God bless them for another 1000 years.
What a most beautiful people's and culture, what amazing beauty in such a barren place. Thankyou for showing us this place and its peoples. Kia ora from us here in new Zealand ❤
I am on a huge David Adams documentary binge thanks to Timeline and loving every second of it. His work is some of the best documentaries I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. For anyone interested, I also highly recommend documentaries by John Romer.
A strangely beautiful land and amazing people. I've often wondered about people, freedom, and happiness. These people, and others around the world who exist without the modern conveniences so many take for granted, seem happier and freer than those who live with the modern conveniences. Very nice video.
Toureg people they are part of the great berber people the indiginous people of north africa a verry rich civilisation. acros the history they never accepted to be occupied they fighted all who trierd to do that from romans to frenchs. berber people they were all the time there intel arabs come from the east, and in nintyies with help of the west especialy french the arabs governed most of their land such as morocco algeria tunisia libya. and tryied to convert theme to arabs and marginalise their culture thats why most of the people in world thinks that they are arabs what is absolutly false they are the great berbers with their beutiful culture and rich languige
Thank you for sharing this terrific experience. You made the most beautiful film I ever saw about the desert and its people. And a mere idea of duna-skiing there was absolutely breathtaking! Good luck for your new ventures
RaYah I One thing I can tell you for sure, Africa is one of the most corrupt places on the planet........Not by the white man,it is our greedy black leaders........ The rich black leaders of Africa sold us as slaves and they are still killing and starving there own people.........You should at least know that much.
@Truth Only Not true , are you African yourself to say this !!!??? l'm from Niger and people in sahara have all shades of brown skin color and defferent shades of light skin as well. so we have all the skin colors of Africa in our country.
They are truly free people, living with so little, yet happy. We have so much, yet unhappy as we sacrificed our freedom spending 40-60 hours a week at work most of us don't even like, sacrificed our right to make a decision as corrupted politicians we chose decide what is best for us. All of it so we can buy 50" TV to watch documentaries like this to learn how to live and what's the real freedom. And we are in the "Pursuit of Happiness" destroying the world with pollution and our "superior" technologies, meantime these people don't even need the maps and compasses to navigate...???
I'm with Parker on this one. I'd rather work 40 hours and come back to a relatively comfortable home than live in the hot, arid middle of the North African Sahara where it's not a given you will have something to eat or drink tomorrow.
Beautiful score Tenere Tuareg Freedom Respect all culture Endurance Simple rules Simple life No complaining Care for resources Outstanding work David!!!
Amazing deserted place. Wonderful cinematography. Your adventure & endeavour are highly admirable. Travelled most remote & desert region. The land is real land of fear. Thanks for exhibiting wonderful information .
The production of this video was done very well. I do wish it covered more of the people and markets. I would like to see more on clothing and shoe making along with food procurement that this video does not cover. I would like to see leather tannery in the desert and how they make their clothing. Thank you for showing all the desert dwellers and part of who they are.
i'd have liked to see their sword fighting. also: there is a tuareg band - regretfully i was unable to attend their miami concert. tinariwen, i think. = "the ténérés"
The Morocco Berber has their own Sahara, orange shades. The are many affordable group tours which organize 1 night Sahara trip to have dinner,slept in a barber tent, breakfast and back to marrakech. In Fez, there's the world heritage site for leather tannery. I visited Morocco in 2015 and 2017.I would like to visit chefchaouen again
I am old now. I also live in Sydney. I was an editor for channel 9 for a long time. I would have given my right arm to have been your camera person. I just love your work 🇦🇺
Tuareg's have been there for some time. If they can not only survive but thrive, then they are not a people to be trifled with. If I ever went traveled to the Emptiness, think I would bring gifts for the locals.
Six years ago, in my 11th-grade English class, I studied 'Hitchhiking Across the Sahara' in Chapter X of our textbook. Watching this video brings back those vivid memories of the vast, majestic Sahara Desert and the incredible journey described. Truly an awe-inspiring place!
Well Mr. Adams you’ve done it again!! I clicked on a documentary that seemed to be of no interest and you narration and storytelling sucked me in! You made a paradise out of what looked like a desert wasteland to me!! I should know never to doubt you. If you take your time and energy to put into a documentary it’s gonna turn out good and be exciting to watch!! You literally make sand fun to watch! And with the skiing part.....what can I say....you’re a true renaissance man! Three cheers for David Adams, Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray!!! #ForHesAJollyGoodFellow #WhomNobodyCanDeny
Unless you didn't buy that salt.....lol.... This adventure was straight up slammin!!! When you skied down the sand dune...it was like one of the coolest things I've ever seen. You have a beautiful life sir.
That one dude who went in front of all the other merchants, like "y'all, it's all on tape, play it cool" 💀 But tbh the salt grabbing was SO unnecessary and unsanitary
Damn, the Tuareg sound like the Fremen of Dune with their strong knowledge of the desert, conserving water, etc. I wonder if they were the inspiration for them.
While l haven't the wealth, the health or freedom to travel, l have always wanted to see the extremities where most people don't venture-- to see a volcano, an iceberg in the Arctic, and this- ride a camel through the desert. I love Animals and have always thought of Camels as a very noble and beautiful Animal. "The Ship of the Desert" Just like drinkable water is the oil of the desert, but worth more! There was education but much beauty in this video as well. And that includes the music! Thanks again Timeline for another good one!👍😊 ❤🐪🫏🐫❤ . 🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
@seeker of knowledge - I lived in Las Vegas & Arizona (Mojave Desert) Now I live in Egypt (Sahara Desert) The color, the beauty is amazing. If you don't like the desert, cool. Desert living isn't for everyone

David Adams is an Australian Documentary Maker, very experienced in filming in Desert conditions in his own Country and thoroughly familiar with camels. At 1.2 Million Australia has the largest population of camels of any country in the world. They are considered to be amongst the largest, finest and most desirable and are regularly exported to the Middle East.
@@hannahr77 that is the most ignorant thing i have read in while, and thats impressive, but not in a good way. You do realize Islam is a religion that has many many cultures, some of those cultures being the most important to our own current western civilization. Up untill 1970s the majority of our western culture were neo-moorish buildings all over the face of this planet, basically all western countries immitated the middle eastern building style. Most of our modern sciences have evolved from middle eastern sciences which at that time were almost all followers of Islam. Just because a group of people in a remote area do no have the capability to evolve culturally does not make them unevolved, they would last longer out there then any of us would.
I have enjoyed the whole video indeed, where am happy to see the Tuareg and the Caravan after learning in our school about them.... watching from Kenya
Awesome in every way I can imagine, this is another one of Mr. David Adams amazing documentaries. I commend him so much for making these films for the rest of the world to enjoy. Thank you! Also, I wonder what happened to the young man with the infected hand. I pray he is alright now. 😊😌🙏🏻👍

Just like drinkable water is the oil of the desert, but worth more!
There was education but much beauty in this video as well. And that includes the music!
Thanks again Timeline for another good one!👍😊

Amazing unbiased documentary of the Tuareg and wonderful cameraman ship
David and crew. These videos are incredible.
19:46 its mesmerizing .. it will be awesome experience to spend night , watching moon, stars !!
Awesome. Absolutely Awesome.
The desert is a thing of beauty
@seeker of knowledge - I lived in Las Vegas & Arizona (Mojave Desert) Now I live in Egypt (Sahara Desert)
The color, the beauty is amazing. If you don't like the desert, cool. Desert living isn't for everyone
@@danoneall4013 nice! The is something magical about the desert that I can't explain since I haven't bern there in person.
I spend my Saturday evenings turning up to documentaries like this.
I hope the young boy with the injured hand is OK I will keep him in prayers take care
Excellent documentary! I really enjoyed seeing their way of life. The scenery is amazingly beautiful for just sand!
I bet that strong mint tea is amazing!
😄
I heard it does not make you sleep
Right yum 😋
@@sarkinyakinjabo7607 have you tried it
Thanks for this amazingly wonderful and nice film. And I have my hat off to you for it and your stunning ski go-down. My best whishes to you!
Pretty certain we have stumbled upon the greatest channel on this platform....
Nagy élmény volt ezt a filmet végignézmni. Közben ezek a vacak kicsinyes reklámok zavarják meg az élményt csupán. Látni az Életet, és közben a kreált vágyakat a reklámokban. Döbbenet. Hálás köszönet a filmért. 🙏🙏
David Adams is an Australian Documentary Maker, very experienced in filming in Desert conditions in his own Country and thoroughly familiar with camels. At 1.2 Million Australia has the largest population of camels of any country in the world. They are considered to be amongst the largest, finest and most desirable and are regularly exported to the Middle East.
They're a pest here in Australia..
@@sigiloXXX Don't know lol
@@wildone8397 and as per usual, imported by the colonisers.
@@wildone8397 Camel meat tastes pretty good though...
@@boob72Yeah.. I'm sure some of the farmers hunt them. But it's not sold in supermarkets like Kangaroo meat. And I Never tried it.. But I would. 🙂
Best documentary. Life is very tough even today for some people.
I admire these people! Enjoy your freedom and life. I hope they keep theirs for another 2,000 years
Probably the finest narrative un glamourized documentary of a land suspended in time.
Wow...that was one heck of a journey I followed you on...since I'm half asleep already, this felt very much like a dream.
We could learn so much from the remaining ancient nomads tribes. One day we may need the information for our own restart ands survival.
yeah right especially the sword, this proves that islam hasn't moved an inch since the year 700
@@hannahr77 I,m sure their women love their freedom in that culture. LOL
like how to stay livign in the 15th century???? yeah, no thanks.
@@hannahr77 that is the most ignorant thing i have read in while, and thats impressive, but not in a good way.
You do realize Islam is a religion that has many many cultures, some of those cultures being the most important to our own current western civilization.
Up untill 1970s the majority of our western culture were neo-moorish buildings all over the face of this planet, basically all western countries immitated the middle eastern building style.
Most of our modern sciences have evolved from middle eastern sciences which at that time were almost all followers of Islam.
Just because a group of people in a remote area do no have the capability to evolve culturally does not make them unevolved, they would last longer out there then any of us would.
@@Crashed131963 right. feminism thrives in ISLAM!!!!!!
These videos make me want to go to these place's 😍
But u need to be careful, it's unstable sometimes. Tuaregs are v Difficult people
I have enjoyed the whole video indeed, where am happy to see the Tuareg and the Caravan after learning in our school about them.... watching from Kenya
Thanks!

Awesome in every way I can imagine, this is another one of Mr. David Adams amazing documentaries. I commend him so much for making these films for the rest of the world to enjoy. Thank you! Also, I wonder what happened to the young man with the infected hand. I pray he is alright now. 😊😌🙏🏻👍

Que Interessante documentário... que nos fez viajar a imaginação!! Oásis abundantes, zonas onduladas, mesetas e montanhas...a paisagem do deserto é tão dissemelhante como a sua ortografia...a par do oceano de areia, com as vagas gigantes das suas dunas...Outras zonas rochosas escritas com histórias! Os contrastes das paisagens e o domínio dos Tuareg com a sua espada e os seus adorados camelos ...O tempo parou ...Como resistem a esta vida?!
This doc was dope asf whoa...Took me back in Time💪💯💯💯💯💯👍
Vos reportages sont captivants, ils impressionnent l'esprit. Vous savez capturer l'âme des lieux, des gens et des animaux. On en ressort plus évolué, de vos documentaires, très haute fréquence visuelle.
That Tuareg song was something out of this world
wow...just wow,,,love this doc. it opened my eyes to desert life .. just blown away.. wow
34:25 "Its so dry out here even bacteria struggle to survive" intense
Covid!.
?
@@oranebrown2169 You do realize there's a difference between virus and bacteria right? COVID's a virus
@@zoberajaburz8859 OK, eloborate then.
@@oranebrown2169 Bacteria are living organisms, viruses aren't.
What a great documentary! :D
wrong
Dead Wrong. The reporter is obviously racist making fun of them secretly throughout the documentary
I enjoyed your guides singing so much I went & looked up Tuareg music. WoW ! I have a new play list to go with my mongolian metal rock, Tuvian throat singing, Scottish drums (Clanadonia) ...
Try Tinariwen and Bombino
@@TheNomadFoundation I found Tinariwen when I did a search. Love them, added to one of my play lists. Bombino I will look up for tomorrows selection :) I have several frieinds who share my eclectic musical tastes, we have been enjoying the musical adventure. From Germany to 3 farms down the road. Thank you. & if you have any others you's like to share, any style, type... Please do !
You (& others) may enjoy this group as well. Taureg with a jazz, blues, even a smattering of rock like styles infused in traditional Taureg musical style. Aridel
Bird Kooistra TheNomadFoundation I wish it were possible to bookmark RUclips comments for later. Although it wasn’t directed at me, thank you both for the musical journey! If you have any other suggestions, I would be very grateful.
Amazing....bravo...love the story and cinematography...thank you for such wonderful experience travelling with you in your journey and journalism....salute!!!!
A GREAT video. Such a strong people. Thank you for the making of this video.
An amazing documentary about life in Zahra and knowledge of people whom never lost their faith Islam believe in Allah to trust
I was totally thrilled by this film. Very interesting. I really travelled through the desert.
Skiing in the desert! Wow! Impressive! The locals got all excited about it, also! He should teach them and give them some skis! A new Sport!
And water skin on the sand tied to the truck instead of a boat. Lol that was awesome
