We were staying with Husseyin’s family, resting after some tiring travels on the tops of dusty trucks, when suddenly women started appearing at the horizon. Camels came, necks swaying, and a goat was killed.

In the midday heat, after lunch — a feast of grilled goat and camels’ milk — I heard muted thumps. It was the tende beating, and the women started dancing to a rhythmic, almost hypnotic beat. It is hard to convey how hot it was (I danced a fair amount too, to the cheers of the ladies, even though I felt I always moved just a little bit wrong), but it was magic too.
