Abstract

The first part of the episode deals with the Saharan lifestyle, in the province of Oued ElDahab. It reveals some consuming customs and traditions that characterize the nomads. Men prepared a grilled sheep in a Saharan way, and women prepared traditional bread, locally called "el fatir". The second part deals with the "Imraken" tribes and their traditional fishing methods. The fishing sector is important for the region as its littoral is 667km long. Fishing ports are available but do not meet the needs of the sector ; that's why a new port is being built, to develop coastal and high seas fishing. Finally the episode introduces rituals and traditions related to the Saharan marriage.
