Morocco To Timbuktu An Arabian Adventure Series 1

Alice Morrison, Arabist and explorer, journeys beneath the veil along Africa's infamous salt roads from Morocco via the Sahara Desert to the legendary city of Gold, Timbuktu.

Part 2

Alice embarks on a camel trek over the dunes of the Sahara, 3.5 million square miles of desert, for the second and final part of her journey to Timbuktu. Along the way she visits a livestock market that centuries ago provided merchants with their camels, before reaching her final destination. Far from the legendary City of Gold, Timbuktu is a city where UN solders keep a fragile peace after an incursion by Islamic extremists in 2012. Alice relives the city's glorious past with a visit to its world famous mosques, meets the Tuaregs - desert nomads who have sought refuge in there - and celebrates at a party with her newfound friends.
