This adventure is one of the great challenges in world travel. Crossing the Sahara from the rock of Gibraltar to Morocco, Mauritania, Mali and beyond, Michael Palin’s route takes him across sand-seas, along rivers, through oases and over mountain ranges. In a place characterised by ceaseless travel, from camel caravans to car rallies, Palin’s love of people sees him chatting with townspeople and villagers from countries many people know little about.
