The tiny town of Tagounite lies at the Northern fringes of Sahara desert, just kilometers away from the Morocco-Algeria border. For most non-residents, Tagounite is a drive through town. Most head to M’Hamid, the final town on the highway, in 4x4 cars to tour sand dunes and check out an “authentic nomadic lifestyle”. That is, until they return to the hotel a few days later. But for those residents who do live in this town, life is very different. The desert environment, lack of water, and heat all dictate life in an immeasurable degree.
