A great adventure travel book by one of the last English explorers to travel across the desert on camels with Arabs. Very insightful on the habits, customs and beliefs of the 'Desert People'. Reminds me of the Raiders of the Last Ark, with the turbans, eating dates, market bazaars, and blowing sands. Worth the time to read. Rated one of the 10 best adventure travel books, and I agree.
