In 1908 Arthur Wavell left England to begin his journey to Mecca, and he undertook his pilgrimage in disguise. Divided into two parts, this book details his journey to Damascus, Medina and Mecca; and describes his abortive attempt to explore south central Arabia, including his capture and expulsion from Yemen by the Turkish authorities.
