Sahara jellemzők
Michael Palin's epic voyages have seen him circumnavigate the globe, travel from the North to the South Pole and circle the countries of the Pacific Ocean but perhaps the greatest challenge facing an intrepid explorer is crossing the vast and merciless Sahara Desert. There is no easy way to do it, and Palin's experiences are like nothing he has encountered before. As the journey unfolds, the Sahara reveals not the emptiness of endless sand dunes, but a huge and diverse range of cultures and landscapes and a long history of civilisation, trade, commerce and conquest stretching from the ancient Egyptians to the oil-rich Islamic republics of today.
From Gibraltar, Palin crosses the straits to Morocco, and the notorious city of Tangier. He pauses in Fes and Marrakech before traversing the mighty Atlas Mountains. From Southern Algeria he reaches the frontier with Western Sahara, where he encounters the Polisario Front, the guerrilla organisation that watches over the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic, a people in exile.
Recovering from the after-effects of camel stew and heading south to Mauritania, he rides the desert ore train, then enters Mali, where the great Niger river, the second largest in Africa, deposits him in the city of Timbuktu, the legendary end of the camel caravans. From Niger, he travels north through the Hoggar Mountains to the gas and oil fields of Algeria, and the Great Man-Made River Project, showpiece of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, a country long closed to foreigners, and then to Tunisia where Life of Brian was filmed and Palin crucified. This is Michael Palin, explorer-adventurer, at his very best.
