The Bedu of Arabia and North Africa are people out of folklore and legend for Westerners, and have long been symbols of the ‘noble savage’. Over the last half-century, though, many changes have come to their traditional way of life. Michael Asher, distinguished Arabist and desert explorer, travelled in the Arab world to discover whether the spirit of the Bedu has survived into the last decade of the twentieth century. His travels took him not only deep into history, mythology, anthropology and philosophy, but also tens of thousands of miles into some of the most exotic and remote locations of the Middle East.
