Santiago joins a large caravan heading east across the Sahara. He meets the Englishman, a scholar obsessed with alchemy who is searching for a legendary alchemist at the Al-Fayoum Oasis. The caravan is led by a strict leader who demands obedience. Santiago learns from the camel driver about living in the present and accepting fate. The journey is long and dangerous, with rumors of tribal wars.
