Summary:

Arabian Sands is certainly Wilfred Thesiger’s spectacular accounts of five years spent crossing the Arabian Peninsula on foot and on camels, with nomadic Bedouin tribesmen as guides. Traveling between 1945 and 1950, the United kingdom explorer treks through Yemen, The Clear One fourth, Oman and elements of the after that Trucial Areas, crossing and re-crossing around 250,000 mls of this most inhospitable surfaces. He was the first European ever to set eyes on the dunes and wadis of the deserts. Confronted with constant challenges and studies under the punishing sun, his journey is also religious and enriching, since it requires the most courage, tolerance, generosity and humor. In obvious and evocative prose, Thesiger records a journey of unimaginable hardship and startling beauty, as well as a time, place and folks over the cusp of switch.
