A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Jenny Walker's first involvement with Arabia was as a student, collecting butterflies for her father's book on entomology in Saudi Arabia. Subsequent academic studies in the perception of the Arabic Orient in English literature resulted in an undergraduate dissertation (Stirling University), postgraduate thesis (Oxford University) and ongoing PhD studies (Nottingham Trent University). Resident in Oman for 15 years, where she is an Associate Dean at the Caledonian University College of Engineering, Jenny has written extensively on the Middle East for Lonely Planet and other publications, and co-authored Off-Road in the Sultanate of Oman with her husband, Sam Owen. Her travels in over 100 countries extend from Uruguay to Mongolia. Jenny also wrote the Plan Your Trip, Understand and Survival sections.
