Items related to Sahara
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 this was perhaps the greatest challenge yet: to cross the vast and merciless Sahara desert.
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 commerce and conquest stretching from the time of the ancient Egyptians to the oil-rich Islamic republics of today.
On his way, he encounters dangers such as camel stew, being run over by the Paris-Dakar rally and Dakar nightlife, as well as returning to the original spot where THE LIFE OF BRIAN was filmed.

Book Description Soft Cover Full Gloss. Condition: New. No Jacket. 5th or later Edition. ### Sahara - 2003 - The Sunday Times Bestseller ### ~#~ 'Brisk, fresh . . . makes you want to go where he has gone, if not necessarily to eat camel liver.' Daily Telegraph 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. Sahara was perhaps the most significant challenge yet: to cross the vast and merciless Sahara desert. Shrugging aside the perils of camel stew and being run over by the Paris-Dakar rally, he travels through some of the most spectacular landscapes on earth. For the Sahara is no empty wasteland, but home to a diversity of cultures whose long history stretches from the time of the ancient Egyptians to the oil-rich Islamic republics of today. 'A good-humored romp through the greatest desert on Earth.' Spectator 'A classic for the armchair traveller - one is left full of admiration for the good-natured patience of our genial guide.' ~#~ THIS BOOK: New Book, never been read no bumping or foxing, just a great Journey told how only Michael can, from doing it. ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS?
