Walata:
a journey to the past
(15 days)
|

- The Mauritanian Sahara is crossed by a large fault whose special
characteristics favoured the flourishing of important caravan cities
during the Middle Ages. Caravans ploughed the desert carrying gold,
salt, spices and slaves. The inhabitants of those cities, rich tradesmen
who, many of them, came from the Orient, guaranteed during centuries this
commercial flow so important for the Mediterranean economy. Like vessels
in the sea, the caravans sailed across the desert through routes carefully
planned, based on terrain obstacles, distance between wells and
relationship with other bellicose nomadic tribes.
- The people who live in this territory get as much as they can out of
it to provide to their essential necessities. Shepherds turn this harsh
part of the world into a human and alive desert. Here people live in a
dignified way and do not dream about being "western" or about shopping
centers or discos but about a camel milk "zrig", fresh dates and a chat
under the tent while sipping a glass of hot tea. These moor nomads are
all involved in that unifying trilogy -date-milk-tea- that somehow defines
their true identity.
- We offer you tours and expeditions that will let you see very closely
the austere life of a biblical people who stays in the border between two
worlds inmersed in the roots of their nomad culture.
- Our proposal is being also nomads on our 4x4 cars and get into this
amazing horizon with no limits, sailing across sensual dunes, crossing
the deep bored canyons of the Adrar region which hide beatiful
Neolithic paints, participating in the ritual of the three mandatory
teas in the tents while chatting with kindly nomads, walking around the
streets and visiting the vegetable gardens of the remote caravan cities
of Chinguiti and Ouadane, getting inside the huge crater of
Gueb-er-Richat, taking a bath in the warm water wells of Terjit, driving,
with the help of the compass, in search of the ocean to meet the the
fishermen of Imraguen and their job partners, the dolphins. And finally
drive along the beach during the low tide towards the Black África.
- All this and much more is what such a journey offers us. We will
travel along the most beautiful landscapes of the Sahara, we will sit
around a fire in the warms nights lighted by all the stars of the sky.
We will see beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Once in the oasis we will
enjoy the pleasure of a good shower and a bed.
