    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, they 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).
