The Tuareg people inhabit a large area, covering almost all the middle and western
Sahara
and the north-central
Sahel
. They are probably descended from the ancient Libyan people of the kingdom of the
Garamantes
, described by
Herodotus
. Tuareg are mostly nomads. For over two millennia, the Tuareg operated the
trans-Saharan caravan trade
connecting the great cities on the southern edge of the Sahara via five desert trade routes to the northern coast of Africa (Mediterranean).
