I thoroughly enjoyed that. As well as remembering why abridged books drive me nuts - you seriously CANNOT leave us there! I‘ll have to read Arabian Sands at some point now (this was an extract).
Thesiger travels across the Empty Quarter, the Arabian desert of #Oman and #SaudiArabia, with his Bedu companions, avoiding those who would have an issue with a Christian in their midst. I learnt SO MUCH about camels & desert travelling. Fascinating!
