Harding King spent three years travelling by camel from the oases of western Egypt into the empty centre of the Libyan Desert, searching for lost oases and rumoured routes. Alongside the exploration he records the oasis people, their beliefs in afrits and jinn, and the often comic exchanges with his guides Qway and Dahab.
A vivid, humorous account of desert exploration that also preserves the lore of the Egyptian oases. Download the free EPUB.
