"The 1835 visit by James Raymond Wellsted, also with modern b&w images"--Cover.
Originally published in 1838 as Travels in Arabia, volume 1, Oman and Nakab el Hajar.
Includes index.
"The ground-breaking visit to Oman by James Raymond Wellsted, in 1835, gave the first comprehensive view of the country to the wider world. This edition is retyped for clarity and includes modern photography to add insight. Wellsted arrived in Muscat with the intention to travel not only extensively through Oman, but eventually into the central region of Arabia. His journey through Oman offers a very sympathetic view of the people and their culture using his experience of over 13 years travelling in the Arab world. This is a remarkable book, written in an easy style about a region whose culture is recognisable from the vivid descriptions of Wellsted."--Back cover.
