Berber Tents and Looms from the Sahara Desert
We have a great little book giving much more information. It can be sent around the world and purchased directly here: Special offer if you buy more than one!
Two different types of tent, the 'Persian' tent, a simple drape of a large sheet of cloth, and the 'Arabic' tent, more sophisticated with bands of densely woven wool to hold the fabric taught. This allowed larger tents to be made with far less wood in the poles, relying for its strength on a pair of centre poles whose angles can be adjusted to raise and lower the height of the tent.
We also look at two looms, the horizontal loom, laid out on the floor of the desert and painstakingly slow to weave on. It takes around six months to weave enough fabric to make a tent, and the vertical loom. This is not a 'backstrap' loom and every line has to be picked apart by hand.

Inside China’s Last Cave Village
Tucked inside the mountains of southwestern China, Zhongdong is the country’s last cave village. Settled by members of the Miao ethnic minority as a hideaway from bandits, the cave is now home to 18 families who have kept the same lifestyle for decades and live below the poverty line. Despite government efforts to relocate them, the residents have refused to move.

Descend Into Australia’s Underground Opal Mining Town | Atlas Obscura
Coober Pedy, located in South Australia, calls itself the “opal mining capital of the world.” It’s also a remote and extreme place to live; due to the extreme temperatures of the Australian desert, 70% of the population have chosen to live underground. Since 1915, miners have hunted for opal in the surrounding rocks, and despite the grueling industry, mining continues today. Watch the full video to meet Desrey, one of the few female miners in the town.

How Do Polish Villagers React To a Black Foreigner? (Social Experiment)
There is a stigma around black people when it comes to traveling in certain countries, especially in Eastern Europe. Is it because some people of colour complain about their experiences in European countries as a minority and how they think they are not treated well? In my travel videos across Europe I have been documenting my own reality of life as a foreigner and my experiences on how I engage with the local people I come across on my journeys where ever it is on or off the camera all of my encounters are the same.. My travels are comfortable and enjoyable and definitely loads fun. I do not feel like a victim or threatened because my colour when I travel. I believe this channel can educate people from an aspect that not all people of colour are always discriminated or judged, this can be seen in all my films from me showing my encounters in some of the most remote places I have visited in Europe such as, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland and England. Although I know some people are racist but for their own reasons.. What advice can I give to anyone that wants to travel no matter the country you travel to or what your colour is. Be fearless, friendly and open to learn a few phrases for interactions, because I know it takes a lot of effort for people and confidence to approach a random stranger and start a conversation and that’s what my spontaneous village travels are about - interacting with the locals and showing how life is on the outside of the big cities and towns. Watch me on this village tour which is far from a touristic location where foreigners usually don’t go. Let’s have look how the Polish people interact with a foreigner. I Took The Wock To Poland. ????

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.

The Secret Lives of the Bedouin Nomads
She was born in the desert and wants only to be buried beneath its rocky soil. But in the meantime, she’s found a very enterprising way to make money.
They have herded goats and camels amongst the shifting, rocky sands of North Africa and the Middle East since time immemorial. Their name means “desert nomad” in Arabic – they are the Bedouin.
Fiercely loyal to family and tribe, they live by a strong code of honor. Red Sea developers took the Bedouin’s best land and now they struggle to maintain their traditions – and scratch a living out of the desert sands.
Her name is Omm Ahmed. She has no idea how old she is. Her three sons have taken jobs at nearby Red Sea resorts – one has even earned enough to buy a truck. He sends his two sons to spend weekends with their grandmother in the hopes that she will teach them the Bedouin way of life before it is completely lost. Omm Ahmed is happy to put them both to work raising pigeons and herding goats. Though she may be more innovative than anyone gave her credit for.
Recently, she cut an unusual deal to use her goats in an entirely new role – recycling garbage.
HEPCA delivers trash from the tourist resorts along the Red Sea and the goats get down to business. They eat everything – from grass clippings to toilet paper. Nothing seems to phase them.
Is there any corner of this world that Western garbage hasn’t reached?
While the goats are making short work of anything organic, the Bedouin scoop up all the recyclable. Even though it’s over a 105 degrees.
It’s a hard life. But in some ways, Ohm Ahmed is actually better off than she was before. The income from recycling allows her to buy all-important water containers for her flock. Coolers for herself, a refrigerator, and clothes.
Most importantly, her grandchildren are going to school. Though in the process, she has given up the safety of her nomadic life for an uncertain future.
Every time there’s unrest in far-away Cairo, Hurghada’s tourist industry comes to a crashing halt. Hotel occupancy can drop as low as three percent. Fewer tourists mean less trash and less income for the Bedouin -but also less damage to the reefs.
Revolution may be bad for the economy, but it’s good for the fish.

Tourist Place, COOBER PEDY, Australia, An Underground Town In The Heart Of The Desert | INTERESTING VIDEO | dugouts | Tourist place in Austrailia
COOBER PEDY - An Underground Town In The Heart Of The Desert - Coober Pedy is a town in northern South Australia, Adelaide on the Stuart Highway. The name Coober Pedy comes from the local Aboriginal term kupa-piti, which means “waterhole or “white man in a hole.” Coober Pedy was designated a town in 1960 and underwent rapid development in the 1960s and 70s. A local government council was established in 1987. Underground homes, easy-going lifestyle and the mystery of the dusty lunar landscape make Coober Pedy a unique and special place.

Derinkuyu is an ancient underground city located in Turkey. It is one of the largest underground cities in the world and much of it's history and use are shrouded in mystery.
Rediscovered in the 1960's, it had been used for thousands of years by ancient peoples. Some claim, aliens used it as an underground base, while other say that's simply ridiculous.
There are 8 levels in the 4.5km city and that is only what is known and has been excavated by archeologists. Today, only the first 3 levels are open to tourists and only about 2.5km's for viewing.
It is possible to drive here by yourself if you rent or a car, or take any number of tour companies that offer trips from the nearest city which will by Goreme (about 1 hour drive).
If you take the Green tour from Goreme, Derinkuyu will be your last or second to last stop of the day.

We have finally made it to Coober Pedy! A quirky little town in remote outback South Australia. This has been on our bucket list for soooo many years and it’s everything and nothing like what we expected. This was one of our favourite little towns and we could easily have spent a bit more time there as lots of things were closed due to SA lock downs. But, we did manage to squeeze a lot in! We:
▪️Checked out the tail fin from the Movie Fire & Stone and
▪️Ross’s Rocket plus other interesting ‘stuff’ that was lying around the outside of the Old Timers Mine
▪️Did Old Timers Mine Tour and had a chat with Nick - what an awesome tour!!
▪️Visited the Serbian Underground church which took our breath away - what a special place, plus we get invited to a Serbian 3 day feast!
▪️Have a good look around what we called the ‘Blower Bus’ and
▪️Drive past all the underground houses with their little chimneys sticking up!
▪️We had so much fun we had to split it into 2 episodes and make 2 mini videos of the 2 tours that we did!

Life in a Fulani Village in Senegal | The Meridian Expedition
Visiting a Fulani village in Northern Senegal.
Currently in a remote village called Doumga, North-East of Senegal. There are only 7.5 thousand people living in the region, which is divided into a number of smaller villages. The one we are staying in tonight has appx. 300 households.
And the border of Mauritania is pretty close too. That means - we are back to the Sahara desert. Sand, sand and sand. The heat is bearable, reaching +45 degrees Celcius in the shade. The trick is to put on extra layers of clothing and you won't lose as much liquid by sweating. And stay in the shade, since in the open it can get much hotter.
We are here because we were assisting the transportation of 5 tonnes of rice, 500 kg of sugar, 100 kg of fish and loads of anti-septic gel - a donation from the good people in Dakar, to this remote villages. The roads are paved with roadblocks, checking the vehicles for authorisations, since it is still not allowed to get out of cities without one. It's good, the police in Senegal are here to protect the citizens and assist them.
We spent the day exploring the village and learning the people to know. It turned out that it is inhabited by Fula people - a large ethnic group of West Africa (and more). they are mainly nomadic, usually staying in a place for no more than three months. But this village, like many others in the 20th century, have opted to an urban way of living.
They speak French and their Fula language. It was useless to google the lexicon for this language, since it has appx. 11 dialects and the few words we found online were different from the ones we heard in the streets.
We also had the chance to visit the local hospital and were please to see that they even have their own ambulance! The hospital pharmacy is stocked well (of course, there is not much by international standards).
Even though the region is a deserted one, if you go a little more north, you will stumble upon a beautiful river. The water was beautifully clean and had a hint of blue.
Around it there are a number a villages, scattered in this picturesque view. Yes, the houses are old and built of natural materials (prevents the interior from overheating, by the way). But if you take a closer look, you will spot the satellite dish, indicating that the household is much more developed than you might think.
In another village we noticed a payphone, but it was out of order. I will call home another day then.
At some point we got lost and had to use the compass to get back on the big road. It took us a while, but it was worth it - we saw the beautiful landscapes that we didn’t expect to see.

Coober Pedy: Would You Live Underground? - Black Pepper Abroad Ep. 048
The folks here actually live underground in what they call dugouts. What better way to look for opals than to dig a hole into the side of a cliff and call it home. When you stop to think about it, it does make a lot of sense. Coober Pedy is hot and dry nearly all year long. Underground the temperature remains a constant 20C to 25C degrees and very little building materials are required when you dig out each room. This lifestyle is not for everyone which Agnes makes very clear :)
Coober Pedy is an odd mining town which has grown into a huge tourist attraction. Movies about distant planets have been filmed here (Pitch Black), you can play golf in the desert and attend church underground. If you're into opals, then this is the town for you. There are plenty of opals for sale and you can learn all about the mining process in Coober Pedy. It was a great place to turn 32 years old in!
