Couscous is another popular traditional meal in the Sahara region. Although Sahrawi couscous is very similar to the original Moroccan couscous, some of them prefer it without meat, which they call "al-ghabba" couscous. This pure Sahrawi couscous is prepared by twisting the dried barley flour cooked on the water vapor and mixing it with only camel milk and sugar.
