Morocco, Erg Chebbi: Berber man in traditional dress. Berbers are the indigenous ethnic group of North Africa west of the Nile Valley. They are distributed from the Atlantic to the Siwa oasis, in Egypt, and from the Mediterranean to the Niger River. Historically they spoke the Berber language and local varieties of it, which together form the Berber branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family.
