FESTIVAL DE TAMADACHT

It was the feast of the Tuareg Ouelleminden that came to take part in these meetings, to traditional dances, to camel races, because Tamadacht signife "contest" in Songhaï. It is a stunning traditional festival that brings together several tribes of Azawagh, including Fulani and Songhai. Many Europeans came to attend. Tribes compete with beauty, elegance and address. This festival was also created to make known a busy region and its extraordinary traditions and also to ensure that the tribes can resolve certain issues: marriages, for example, or problems related to the region. Since the region is far from everything, it is recommended that you use a local travel agency to get there.
