Nomad Family by Abdulwahab Mihoub Algeria Pyrograph on wood, 55 cm by 40 cm This image shows how nomads used to live in Algeria. Today there are fewer and fewer nomads living in tents as the cities progressively swallow them.

His work is original and mainly focuses on the traditional scenes, landscapes, people, and customs of the Sahara. He has been interviewed for TV by the Algerian channel.
