The Heart of Arabia: A Record of Travel & Exploration is a seminal account of early 20th-century exploration across the Arabian Peninsula. Written by the renowned explorer H. St. J. B. Philby, this second volume continues his detailed observation of the geography, culture, and politics of a region then largely unknown to the Western world.

Philby provides an exhaustive record of his journeys through the Nejd and other interior provinces, offering invaluable insights into the social structures and customs of the Bedouin tribes. As one of the few Europeans of his era to travel so extensively within the heart of the desert, Philby documents the rise of the Wahhabi movement and the complex tribal allegiances that shaped the modern history of the Middle East. His narrative combines rigorous geographic surveying with personal anecdotes, creating a vivid portrait of a landscape and society in transition.
