Travellers in the Sand: Desert lands of the Near East, a journal of true adventure by Jim Taylor
'Travellers in the Sand' takes you on an eye-opening tour of the Middle East region, from the River Jordan to the Siwa Oasis and beyond. Discover the genuine cultures of the Old World and sense the indomitable spirit of those ancient lands, with the incredible wealth of tradition within the Arabian Peninsular. Live the experience; from first exposure to the unique socio-agricultural system of an Israeli kibbutz, to another kind of society within the teaming masses camped around Cairo's City of the Dead - the contrasts are extreme, as are the characters you'll meet along the way.
