Awsard

Awsard lies in the Tiris country of the western Sahara, a vast desert of stony plains and scattered low hills. The surrounding region has long been traversed by Saharan pastoral communities, whose movements follow the availability of grazing and water. Tents provide shelter suited to a mobile way of life, and camels are adapted to the distances and dryness of the desert. Far to the west, the desert meets the Atlantic coast.
