This Tuareg festival in Niger must have been a thrilling experience for the semi-nomadic tribes-folk to meet relatives and friends from neighboring countries. These are very artistic people. They seem to have a flair for dressing up and for valuing beauty.

People have been assembling from all over Niger and the nearby countries for this impressive showcase of the Tuareg riders. They seem like a handsome and elegant people. They have long aristocratic necks Modigliani would have loved to paint.
