Peuples Des Déserts D’Arabie / Peoples of the Arabian Deserts (Book) by Pierre Bonte, Etienne Dehau. Like New, Hardcover, 205 pages. 2005. Format 32 x 26.5 x 2.2 cm. 1.815 kg. Editions Hermé. French texts.

From Jordan to Yemen, the Arabian deserts stretch as far as the eye can see: Wadi Rum, the Great Nefoud, the Nejd, and to the south of the peninsula, the Rub al-Khali – the “empty quarter”, so named for its resemblance to a crescent moon – which borders Yemen and extends to the Sultanate of Oman. Today, we are only exploring its contours, because Saudi Arabia remains difficult to access. But this periphery offers fascinating views with its dunes and orange plains, its scattered pastures, its rocky chains chiseled by the whims of erosion, its unique fauna and flora.

Pierre Bonte invites us to follow the incense route to discover the Bedouins, nomads with ancestral traditions. More than 200 photographs by Etienne Dehau illustrate the culture of these Arabs, “people of the desert” according to the etymology, living from camp to camp in a landscape that is both hostile and captivating. A new look at one of the most fascinating cradles of civilization and nomadism.
