This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the daring journey of a seasoned traveler to Siwa, an isolated oasis in the Libyan Desert, and his subsequent attempt to cross the hazardous desert to Jarabub, a stronghold of the Senussi, a puritanical and secretive Islamic sect. The traveler's ultimate goal was to visit the Oracle of Jupiter Ammon, thought to be an ancient Egyptian God.

Along the way, the traveler grapples with the complexities of the Senussi and their role in the political landscape. The author's tales of navigating the unforgiving Libyan Desert, the challenges of cross-cultural interactions, and the quest to uncover the mysteries of the Oracle of Jupiter Ammon make for a captivating adventure that brings to life this little-known corner of the world.
