The result is an extensive and intricate study of Middle East culture and land. Included are sections on Egypt and Nubia, Syria, and Petra and the Dead Sea. Entries are organized by date and include subjects such as, \"Our Party and its Objects,\" \"Crocodiles,\" \"Visit to the Pyramids,\" \"Convent on Mount Carmel,\" \"Troubles with our Escort,\" and \"Observations on the Character and Customs of the Arabs.\" This entertaining and informative read will be of interest to historians and students of Middle Eastern culture.
