Echoes of Timbuktu: Stepping inside the last stop before the Sahara's edge.
I stand within the walls of an ancient caravanserai, a vital sanctuary on the legendary trade route connecting Timbuktu and Marrakech. Imagine the immense camel caravans, heavily laden with produce, seeking refuge, sustenance, and safety within this very stone enclosure after traversing the unforgiving desert expanse. This location is more than just architecture; it is a preserved testament to centuries of commerce, survival, and vital cultural exchange between the empires of West Africa and North Africa. We were privileged to capture the raw majesty of this setting for upcoming programming exploring the deep history of these incredible journeys.
