The Bright Side: 3,000 year-old Sahara dance competition stands the test of time

0
Women adorned in traditional garments and jewelry encircle men dancing with swords and elaborate head coverings in the ancient Sebeiba festival of Djanet, an Algerian town deep in the Sahara. The tradition goes back 3,000 years and has varying legends on its significance: to celebrate peace after Moses defeated the Pharaoh in the Exodus story or the resolution of historical rivalry between neighbouring towns in the region.
