Mijek, Western Sahara, located in the northeastern part of the Western Sahara region, is a small settlement on the edge of the Sahara Desert. It has a tropical desert climate, with an average annual precipitation of less than 50 millimeters and significant temperature differences between day and night. The terrain is dominated by gravel plains and sand dunes, with sparse vegetation, mainly drought-tolerant shrubs.
The population of Mijek is about a few hundred, predominantly nomadic Sahrawis, with traditional economic activities including camel herding and seasonal trade. Recent exploration of neighboring phosphate deposits has brought limited local employment opportunities, but infrastructure is lacking and the population is highly dependent on external assistance.
The region has been under de facto Moroccan control since 1975, but its political status is disputed and the UN classifies it as a Non-Self-Governing Territory. Mijek is remote, with a high concentration of military checkpoints, and transportation is mainly via the desert highway connecting Smara to Tindouf.
Oral traditions and crafts of Saharan nomadic culture remain, but water scarcity and frequent sandstorms constrain development. International organizations have a small number of humanitarian projects in the area, focusing on drinking water supply and basic education support.
