Timimoun oasis: Growing food in the desert I WIDE

Timimoun’s market is filled with colourful and fresh vegetables. One can hardly believe that they have been grown in the centre of the desert, in one of its unlikely gardens.

One of the sellers from the market invites us to follow him back into his garden. While showing us around, he explains to us the ancient irrigation system that allows vegetation to thrive in one of the driest places on earth.

From the film: “Algeria - The Veins of Desert”, from the collection “Connecting Traditions”
Direction: Alexandre Mostras
Production: Ma drogue à moi & Ushuaïa TV
