Walking with Nomads

De: Alice Morrison

Narrado por: Alice Morrison

Adventurer and TV presenter Alice Morrison takes the listener on three remarkable and inspirational journeys across Morocco, from the Sahara to the Atlas Mountains, to reveal the growing challenges faced by our planet.

Accompanied only by three Amazigh Muslim men and their camels, Scottish explorer Alice Morrison set off to find a hidden world. During her journey along the Draa river, she encountered dinosaur footprints and discovered a lost city, as well as what looked like a map of an ancient spaceship, all the while trying to avoid landmines, quicksand and the deadly horned viper.

Walking with Nomads reveals the transformative richness of the desert and the mountains, providing a total escape from everyday concerns, but it also shows how the ancient world of the nomad is under threat as never before…

Descriptive with a good dose if humour

I really enjoyed this book. I’m not sure whether it’s because I’m a long time resident of Morocco and so identified with the whole narrative (although I’ve never crossed the country on foot!)
Narration by the author was great.
I also learnt a lot and now can tell you
about the sex life of a camel!

a multiple listen book

I recommend both books by Alice Morrison: Walking with Nomads and Adventures in Morocco.  Alice narrates both books and has an excellent voice, making it easy to hear the emotion of her experience.  Alice writes about Morocco with respect, affection, and understanding, the wonderfulness and strangeness clear in her writing.  Her experiences are funny, heartfelt, and, sometimes, embarrassing and heartbreaking.  Alice is an unexpected adventurer, coming to this path after a western corporate career, and I like this best about her.  Check out her podcast, Alice in Wanderland, and look her up on YouTube.  Her ability to look at the world with humor and enthusiasm is uplifting.  I will listen to both books again.
