The Tuareg (known to themselves as variations of the Berber term "Imazighen" meaning "Free Men") are a semi-nomadic Berber people who reside in a vast area of the Western Sahara Desert and Sahel spanning parts of Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Algeria, Libya, and even a small sliver of northern Nigeria. Much like the Arab Bedouins, the Tuareg traditionally made their living through livestock herding, long distance desert commerce, oasis farming, and military raids.

He makes the bandits believe it's an equestrian dance. This tale is the UrExample and something of an UnbuiltTrope.

* AllPartOfTheShow: Adelasegh's sister faked being sick, worrying the bandit chief who wanted to marry her. She and Adelasegh lied that in their country sickness is treated by a grand feast with lots of music and dancing. The bandits organized a concert and in the meantime, Adelasegh injured the only two horses fast enough to catch his own horse: one got a bone stuck in its hoof and the other he smeared irritating paste in its eyes. When Adelasegh returned he had the horses run in circles and kicked up a swirling dust cloud, convincing the robbers that it was some sort of equestrian dance. While they were distracted, Adelasegh scooped his sister onto his own horse and sped off into the Western sunset per Anigouran's message.
