A traveling writer and teller of fables, here Nacer applies his age-old skills to film, the first in his highly regarded Desert Trilogy that includes the Dove's Lost Necklace and Bab'Aziz - the Prince Who Contemplated His Soul. Khemir creates an exotic world when a young teacher arrives to take over a school isolated in the shimmering desert. Legendary figures materialize out of wells and the desert itself, groups of children hurry through a labyrinth of underground corridors, the teacher is whisked away to a mysterious rendezvous and never returns. Nothing is explained. Legend, tradition and fate hang heavily over this community and he does so with a richly expressive visual style aided by superb use of color. A meditation on the lost grandeur of Arab civilization. --Seattle Arab and Iranian Film Festival Review: Five Stars - Beautiful sufi movie, as all sufi teachings full of symbolism which require full attention Review: Recommended - When you first watch Wanderer's of the Desert, you are hit by the starkness of the desert landscape and immediately transported to a semi-mythical village somewhere in the Tunisian desert. I found that I had to really pay attention to the film's story and I must say that it does indeed require concentration to fully appreciate a some sort of spiritual message that Nacer Khemir is trying to portray. I gave this review 3 stars because of the uninteresting extras (A picture gallery tat are just stills from the film). I would have loved a director's commentary so that I could analyse the film more and perhaps an interview with Mr. Khemir himself. Other than that I would recommend it for someone who wants to watch something different. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Abdelazim Abdelhack, Hassen Khalsi, Hedi Daoud, Lotfi Layouni, Nacer Khemir, Nouredine Kasbaoui, Sonia Ichti, Soufiane Makni Contributor Abdelazim Abdelhack, Hassen Khalsi, Hedi Daoud, Lotfi Layouni, Nacer Khemir, Nouredine Kasbaoui, Sonia Ichti, Soufiane Makni See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 7 Reviews | | Format | Anamorphic, Color, NTSC, Subtitled | | Genre | Music Video & Concerts, World Music | | Language | Arabic | | Runtime | 1 hour and 35 minutes | ## Product Details - **Format:** Anamorphic, Color, NTSC, Subtitled - **Genre:** Music Video & Concerts, World Music - **Language:** Arabic - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 35 minutes ## Images ![Wanderers of the Desert - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41FGnvMHVTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by J***E on September 3, 2016* Beautiful sufi movie, as all sufi teachings full of symbolism which require full attention ### ⭐⭐⭐ Recommended *by S***S on May 27, 2008* When you first watch Wanderer's of the Desert, you are hit by the starkness of the desert landscape and immediately transported to a semi-mythical village somewhere in the Tunisian desert.

It has both political, social as well as spiritual undertones. The barrenness of the desert is in stark contrast to what we, the audience who are watching it in our living room, are used to. The minimalistic arrangement of life, and despite lack of material clutter how joy, laughter, emotion and human drives grow and flow, worth pondering. The strength of the movie is in its mystical appeal. All the characters acted extremely well, even the little boy. If you accept the movie the way it is, you will like it. It's a poetry, and poetry is often difficult. The movie will take you to a different world. I have no suggestion for the director or the producer--since I have no idea what to say. Could it be improved? Possibly. In which way? Hard to tell, since any modification would have been a deviation from what I experienced and that might have modified the total essence that I am basing on to write this review. I recommend you watch it, but watch it in intervals, rather than in one or two sessions. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hu/products/4585493-wanderers-of-the-desert](https://www.desertcart.hu/products/4585493-wanderers-of-the-desert) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hungary* *Store origin: HU* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
