The nomadic and semi-nomadic populations come there to collect water and feed their camels.

Most of their heads are covered by a turban that protects them from the sun and frequent sandstorms. Each of them rides a dromedary and drags a third. The animals carry several drums to carry water from the well. In the back part of the great sandstone wall that surrounds the guelta. Ennedi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
