In Ghardaia all the women follow the tradition of wearing the haik, a large cloth that is wrapped around the body and face, allowing only one eye to be seen. Before marriage girls are allowed to show their faces but after marriage then only one eye can be shown. If you look at any of these women they will tighten their hold on the material, thus closing the hole even more. In the past it was custom for women to face the wall when strangers passed; though this is no longer the case, women will do their best to avoid foreign stares and will often follow another path when they see someone coming their way.

4 years ago, I decided to go to Iran, by myself for a 2-week photography tour of the country. During my stay, I was blown away by the beautiful architecture, the friendly people and the incredible food I experienced during my trip. I was able to capture most of it in my photography. However, 2 days before leaving, while relaxing in a park, I woke up and left my camera behind ... with all my pictures in it. I left the country sad to have lost all my photos, but with the promise that I will come back, one day, to take photos of the country. This is one of the few photos I have left, taken from my rusty phone.

Happy Independence Day to my beautiful country 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿

Temples and air balloons 🎈 What’s the most «mysterious» country you want to visit? For me, and for a long time, it was Myanmar (until I went there in 2013). Now, I’m really looking forward to visit Ethiopia and experience its culture.
