Henri Duveyrier was a French explorer and geographer, known for his exploration of the Sahara. Duveyrier was a son of the French playwright Charles Duveyrier, while his mother was English. During his late teens in 1857, he decided to take a five-week trip from Kandouri to Laghouat and back. He took an interest in the Tuaregs which he met in this trip, and later presented an account of Tuareg customs to the Berlin Oriental Society. In December 1861, he returned from a failed expedition to Tuat while being delirious with fever. In 1864, he published a memoir about the exploration of Sahara with an emphasis on the Tuaregs.
