Rissani

by sachara - last update: Apr 19, 2008

My first encounter with Africa and the desert.

Rissani in 1975
A never ending love....

In 1975 I travelled for the first time to the African continent. In Risssani I walked for the first time on my own in a town at the edge of the desert, looking at the market and souqs and practicing my first skills in bargaining.

Here starts my love for the desert and Africa. I returned many times to this continent and my love grew with every visit.

First in 2008 I came back to Rissani. A lot has changed, but I also still recognized the same atmosphere which captured me the first time.

 Ali, I really enjoyed this glimpse into your early days in Africa, especially your reactions to the Erg Chebbi sand dune! It was interesting too to observe the many changes since then - great adventures you had there!
