Review of 'Two Arabs, a Berber, and a Jew' on 'Goodreads'

An interesting window into Moroccan life and culture, told through the words of four interviewees from 1960s to the present day. Two arabs, a berber and a jew tell interesting stories about the Moroccan history, religion, tribal prolitics and Jewish-Muslim relationships.

Wilfred Thesiger: Arabian Sands (Penguin Classics) (Paperback, 2007, Penguin Classics, Penguin)

Review of 'Arabian Sands (Penguin Classics)' on 'Goodreads'

An interesting travel book from another era, when crossing Empty Quarter was dangerous not only because of harsh nature conditions, heat, lack of water, uncharted lands and reliance on camel endurance but also because of numerous feuds among the Bedu tribes and general negative dispositions to infidel Christians stepping onto Arab lands for the first time. A fascinating insight into Bedu customs, traditions, values and way of life in 1940s.
