In the heart of the Sahara, the Tuareg people continue an ancient, arduous tradition known as the Azalai. This great caravan, a testament to human endurance, traverses the unforgiving desert to transport salt, the white gold of the Sahara, from the remote mines of Taoudenni to the markets of West Africa. Through extreme conditions and the relentless passage of time, the Tuareg maintain their way of life, guided by the stars and the wisdom of their ancestors, as they undertake this perilous journey to sustain their families and preserve their cultural heritage.
