About This Book
A personal travel journal recording an overland expedition from Nile towns into the Kittar Mountains and surrounding Eastern Desert, presented as daily diary entries describing journeys by steamer and camel, logistical preparations, camp life, ravines, waterfalls, springs, and the terrain's flora and water sources. The volume includes photographic plates and a route map documenting previously little-photographed landscapes, alongside an appended article on brigade intelligence and memorial verses; a prefatory note explains the book's posthumous publication and the inclusion of reproductions of the author's photographs.
