Travelling through the land of the Pharaohs, around 450 BC, Herodotus was struck by the contrast between the lush banks of the great river and the aridity of the surrounding desert.
These inhospitable lands cover 96% of the country, and only 1% of the population lives there. The desert is also the gateway to many foreign invaders and the domain of nomads.
This documentary ventures into the desert that the Egyptians of the Nile have never really managed to control. It is still today the place of all dangers and rebellion.
