EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the historic desert landscapes of southern Algeria, where camel transport played a crucial role in the daily lives of its inhabitants. The image showcases a traditional camel palanquin, a covered litter used for carrying wives and children across the arid desert terrain. Each palanquin features a central ventilation shaft, ensuring a degree of comfort and breathability in the harsh desert climate. The palanquin, a symbol of the region's rich history and cultural heritage, is adorned with intricate decorative patterns and frame work, reflecting the artistic craftsmanship of the Algerian people. The camels, with their humps laden with supplies and the palanquin resting atop their sturdy backs, appear ready for the next leg of their journey. This scene, reminiscent of ancient caravans and nomadic lifestyles, transports us to a time when transportation across the vast North African desert relied on the resilient camel and the ingenuity of its people. The palanquin, with its central ventilation shaft, provided a means for wives and children to travel in relative comfort and safety, making long desert journeys more bearable. Biskra, a city in southern Algeria, is a common starting point for these journeys, as it lies at the edge of the Tassili n'Ajjer plateau and the Sahara desert. The palanquin, a testament to the region's history and the resourcefulness of its people, continues to be an enduring symbol of the Algerian desert and its unique culture.
