The Land Of Fear: The Most Isolated Place In The World | Sahara Desert | Timeline

  • 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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

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

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!

      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.

    My friends think I’m nuts but I identify with that place. I was raised in a high desert in Eastern Washington, USA. As a young teenager I was reluctantly moved to Seattle, a land of rain. I hated it. Finally escaping I eventually left for health to Hawaii to find it’s actually much a desert. Life brought me back but I immediately left for the Eastern Oregon high country, then Utah and Nevada. I didn’t realize why really. I just followed a feeling. I ended up traveling the Black Rock desert, the Mohave and the Sonoran all the way to Mexico before returning due to COVID closures. Seeing this stirs me to begin again, perhaps a new continent 😎. I’ve finally found myself. I love deserts.
