Desert nomad (6)

I believe the answer is:

tuareg

(Other definitions for tuareg that I've seen before include "Member of nomadic group in N Africa" , "Saharan dwellers" , "Saharan Berber" , "One of a nomadic Berber people - eat rug (anag)" , "Member of nomadic Berber people of Sahara" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
