About This Book

A traveler's account based on extended residence and repeated journeys east and west of the Jordan, combining on-the-ground narrative with cultural observation. The text describes terrain and archaeological ruins, village and nomad life, hospitality rituals, tribal honor codes, religious practices among Arabs and Druze, and everyday scenes at wells, markets, and encampments. Episodes of travel — storms, scarcity of water, guides, and local officials — punctuate broader commentary on agriculture, rural economy, and relations among communities, offering practical detail alongside reflections on customs and local history.
