Throngs of tourists spend a half-hour of their lives in the Sahara Desert at Douze, riding camels. Some exercise the option of wearing Berber costumes as they plod over the sand dunes. This group happens to be from Italy. I photographed them coming over a rise, looking very much like a scene from a 1930s movie. For the moment anyway, these tourists are living a fantasy, and much of tourism is designed to do just that.
