“You´ll die. Or get kidnapped by Al Qaeda. What you want to do is impossible!”

That is what all experts, analysts and the Yemenis themselves told the Swedish traveller Mikael Strandberg. But he has done the impossible. He has made his way into what many say is one of the most difficult countries in the world to enter, and one of the most dangerous.

Together with the Swedish journalist, Tanya Holm, Kensington the Camel and a few of the oldest inhabitants of Arabia, the Bedus he has travelled through one of the hottest deserts on earth. They didn’t meet any terrorists, religious extremists and nobody got killed. They didn’t even feel any serious fear. What they found during this adventurous walk, in their search of the real Arabia, was a Middle Eastern country very different from the one portrayed in the global media.

Join us to watch the documentary Man with a Camel – Expedition Yemen, 126 Degrees in the Shade and hear more from Mikael Strandberg about his exploratory journey in Yemen.
