About the book

Charles M. Doughty's Travels in Arabia Deserta recounts his journeys through the Arabian Peninsula in the 1870s, when he travelled with caravans and lived among Bedouin communities. Doughty describes desert landscapes, tribal society, archaeology, religion, hospitality and hardship in a highly distinctive, deliberately archaic prose style. The work became a classic of travel literature and an important European account of nineteenth-century Arabia.
