Before the modern world drew its maps, the vast, sun-scorched landscapes of the Middle East were a mystery-a realm of shifting sands and ancient loyalties known only to the powerful Bedouin tribes who commanded them.
Sands of Time plunges you into this forgotten world, chronicling the daring expeditions that pushed into the heart of the Ottoman territories at the dawn of the twentieth century.
Follow in the footsteps of the explorers and cartographers who traded the comforts of Damascus for the unforgiving beauty of the Arabian Peninsula. This is your chance to:
- Navigate by the stars while desperately searching for hidden water sources.
- Chart lands unseen by Western eyes for centuries.
- Venture deep into the domain of the formidable Rashidi dynasty on a perilous journey to Ha'il.
- Uncover the secrets of ancient civilizations among the ruins of Carchemish.
- Learn the unwritten laws of the desert while forging alliances with proud tribal sheikhs.
As the world teetered on the brink of war, these desert treks took on a new urgency. The intimate knowledge gained from mapping ancient routes became invaluable. Witness how figures like T.E. Lawrence transformed their understanding of the land and its people into a pivotal role in the Great Arab Revolt-a conflict that would shatter an empire and forever change the course of history.
A breathtaking account of adventure, anthropology, and political intrigue, Sands of Time is a vivid testament to the last generation of great explorers and the enduring desert cultures that shaped the modern Middle East.
