Sahara with Michael Palin

Overview

Even today, the Sahara is full of miracles. Until way into the 20th century, vast areas remained unexplored. In the early thirties, the Austrian-Hungarian adventurer Ladislaus E. Almásy who later gained world-wide fame as the historical figure on whom the Hollywood movie 'The English Patient' was based on, had undertaken several expeditions to various blank spots on the Sahara's map.
