A Saharan Jaunt

By Andrew Guilfoyle

'The nearest desert, the biggest desert, the most supreme desert on Earth, was the Sahara - and that was where I would go.' With this pledge the author sets off to travel the Arab world, the hard way, at the worst possible moment in history. But it is a journey not only through the most singular and other-worldly part of the earth, but also through the Islamic faith and Muslim culture, across time, history, geology, and the complexity of the human soul ... Follow the author on an outer and inner journey as he traverses a sweep of North Africa and the Middle-East - a 'U' from London to eastern Turkey, peppered with different people, characters, histories, cities, sites, extraordinary natural features, and singular experiences, and whether good and bad, always memorable.
