Smara, Western Sahara: Historical Pearl of the Sahara's Hinterland
Smara is an important city in Western Sahara, located in the heart of the Sahara Desert and historically known as the "Pearl of the Sahara". Founded by Saharan nomads, the city developed in the 19th century under the initiative of Mauritanian leader Cheikh Maa El Amin into a religious and trade center with ancient mosques and traditional mud-brick buildings. The historical symbol of the POLISARIO (Front for the Liberation of Western Sahara), Semara combines the imprint of a nomadic culture with the spirit of resistance to colonization. Despite the region's political complexity, its unique desert landscape and Berber cultural heritage continue to attract explorers and provide a key window into the history and ethnicity of Western Sahara.
