Tafilet: The Narrative of a Journey of Exploration in the Atlas Mountains and the Oases of the North-West Sahara
1895
A historical account written in the late 19th century. This travel narrative chronicles the author's extensive journey through the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara, providing insights into the geography, culture, and people encountered along the way. It offers an exploration of Morocco's diverse landscapes as well as the author's interactions with different tribes and local customs. The opening portion sets the stage for Harris's expedition, detailing his motivation and preparations before embarking on the journey in 1893. It begins with a reference to the political climate in Morocco at the time, particularly the Sultan's own expedition southward, which allows Harris to set and pursue his own course. As he departs from Tangier traveling toward Saffi, he illustrates the landscape and challenges of the region, while also introducing his traveling companions and establishing the conditions of their trek toward Tafilet. Through vivid descriptions, the narrative hints at the forthcoming adventures and the various cultural encounters that await them.
