The Barb

The Berber people are convinced that their horses are among the oldest breeds in the world. Scientists confirm this, with research showing that the horses that lived in the Sahara 4,000 years ago were similar to Berber horses we know today.

Camels

The camel is one of the most iconic animals of the Sahara. The ancestors of modern camels first appeared about 45 million years ago, and the large mammals eventually made their way to the African continent by traveling across the Bering isthmus between 3 million and 5 million years ago, according to a study published in 2015 in the Research Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Management. Camels were domesticated about 3,000 years ago on the southeast Arabian Peninsula, to be used for transportation in the desert.
