He travels on the longest train in the world, meets with the Paris-Dakar Rally in the middle of nowhere, and sees the world’s largest mud mosque before arriving in Timbuktu.Then it’s a journey with nomadic herders and a camel caravan to Algeria and a recently re-opened Libya. Finally Michael returns to the classical remains of Tunisia - where ‘Life of Brian’ was filmed.
