Part of Bayard Taylor’s Library of Travel, this volume condenses the narratives of the European explorers who penetrated Arabia, from the coasts and holy cities to the interior of Nejd. Readers ride with them on night marches across the desert, into Ha’il and the courts of Arab rulers, and through the wars of the Wahhabis.
A compact introduction to the classic literature of Arabian travel, revised by the cyclist-traveller Thomas Stevens. Download the free EPUB.
