About this book

The explorers Theodore and Mabel Bent recount their pioneering journeys through the little-known lands of southern Arabia, describing the peoples, ruins, landscapes, and dangers of a region then almost unknown to Europeans. Blending adventure, archaeology, and ethnography, the narrative captures the excitement and hardship of exploring the deserts and coasts of the Arabian Peninsula. Detailed and vivid, it is a valuable record of turn-of-the-century travel and discovery in a remote corner of the world. For readers drawn to exploration and the history of Arabia, Southern Arabia offers an absorbing firsthand account of intrepid Victorian travelers venturing into uncharted lands.
