Publisher’s Summary

Following in the footsteps of famed explorers such as Lawrence of Arabia and Wilfred Thesiger, British explorer Levison Wood brings us along on his most complex expedition yet: a circumnavigation of the Arabian Peninsula.

Starting in September 2017 in a city in Northern Syria, a stone’s throw away from Turkey and amidst the deadliest war of the 21st century, Wood set forth on a 5,000-mile trek through the most contested region on the planet. He moved through the Middle East for six months, from ISIS-occupied Iraq through Kuwait and along the jagged coastlines of the Emirates and Oman; across a civil-war-torn Yemen and on to Saudia Arabia, Jordan, and Israel, before ending on the shores of the Mediterranean in Lebanon. Like his predecessors, Wood traveled through some of the harshest and most beautiful environments on Earth, seeking to challenge our perceptions of this often-misunderstood part of the world. 

Through the relationships he forges along the way – and the personal histories and local mythologies that his companions share – Wood examines how the region has changed over thousands of years and reveals a side of the Middle East we don’t often see in the media.

    EXCELLENT

    If I could, I would give this book more than five stars.
    What more can I say.
    The places he has been and the people he has met are so interesting.
    You can check Google earth for the many locations mentioned.
    He is an amazing author and it is nice that he narrated his own book.
    I highly recommend getting the book.
    I will be looking for more books by this explorer.
    My thanks to all involved, JK.

    Should be read by every American

    Levison has a way of bringing you to each place, he doesn’t withhold the bad, but his honesty also shows the good in people. Absolutely worth listening to

    Adventure is out there waiting to meet you.

    If you have ever wondered what the world is really like, these walking adventures will give you a look into the world beyond the end of the roads where life and adventure begin. lucky me had 7 years of walking in the Himalaya in Nepal and India and 20 years of rafting wilderness rivers in North America. maybe these tales will inspire you to walk off the map into another world of people and places you will never forget.

    Learning about people

    Well written story about his Arabian journey. Many times we questioned why from war to snow covered passes. The book is about his journey. But the guides, and other people he interacted with made it personal.
