The traditional Western view of the Arabian peninsula is of a forbidding monotonous region, dominated by deserts. This book aims to dispel the myth by exploring the rich natural history of the peninsula and delving into the marine worlds around its shores.
The Arabian peninsula is a vast and diverse land full of surprises. The traditional Western view, reinforced by literature and films, is of a forbidding monotonous region, dominated by deserts. This book aims to dispel the myth by portraying a subcontinent where soaring juniper-clad mountains, inhabited by leopard, baboon, unique birdlife and rare gazelle contrast with beautiful sand-deserts, home of adapted wildlife like Ruppell's fox and rheem gazelle. It examines the natural history of the peninsula and delves into the marine worlds around its shores.
