Between 2000 and 2002, French photographer Scarlett Coten traveled throughout Egypt's Sinai desert, recording her encounters with the region's inhabitants, the Bedouins. Beyond the framework of sociological or documentary journalism, this intimate travelogue captures Coten's interactions with a semi-tribal people, and reveals the surprising persistence of Bedouin culture and traditions in a rapidly changing world.

FROM THE BOOK
"As soon as the cock crows, the motors of the pick-up trucks start running in the village. The men carry on criss-crossing the desert. On the beaten tracks, "Toyotas" and "Datsuns", with dash boards decorated like alters, are more usual than camels. Visiting relatives or doing favors for friends are part of the nomadic ritual. A tea, a cigarette, a cassette of Lebanese music, and we share the latest happenings, news and passing time."
