Erg Chebbi looks different when you see it through the lives of the people who call it home. The dunes are not just a view but a neighbor that changes shape every day. The Berber families who live around the desert move with the rhythm of the wind and the seasons knowing the sand the way others know city streets. Sitting with them you feel the calm confidence of people who understand this land deeply. Stories are shared over tea the kind that tastes stronger under the open sky. The desert is harsh but they treat it with respect not fear. Walking with them you start to notice the small signs in the sand the shift in light the quiet that settles before evening. Erg Chebbi becomes more than a landscape it becomes a living place shaped by the people who have learned to listen to it.
