Synopsis

Michael Asher, distinguished Arabist and explorer, set out to discover whether the spirit of the Bedu, the nomads of the desert, has survived into the last decade of the twentieth century. His travels took him deep into history, mythology, anthropology and philosophy, and tens of thousands of miles through the most exotic and remote locations of the Middle East. This is a vivid portrayal of a culture that has succeeded in preserving its unique traditions while adapting and surviving in the post-industrial world.
