description This text proposes an unprecedented synthesis on the scale of the Sahara of the tourist trajectory of the Saharan regions of the Maghreb and Sahelian states. At a time of closure to international tourism of most Saharan tourist destinations and to its crossing, it examines the marginality and hazards of tourist activity due in particular to insecurities but also of its specificities. The cases of the Saharan parts of Morocco, Niger and Chad are particularly mobilized in the second part of the paper, which addresses the complex links between tourism, identity and rebellion, as well as the emergence of a mass psammotourism fed by domestic tourism.
