Member of a nomadic people of the Sahara (6)
I believe the answer is:
tuareg
'member of a nomadic people of the sahara' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for tuareg that I've seen before include "Saharan Berber" , "One of a nomadic Berber people - eat rug (anag)" , "One of nomadic pastoral people in N Africa" , "Berbers" , "Nomadic Arab of N Africa" .)
