This revised reprint has detailed descriptions and ‚topos‘ of over 300 routes
\n\u2013 all the known routes to date, from short walks, camel treks and 4 WD
\njourneys through to sports climbs and major ‚big walls‘ of the highest

Additionally the author gives information on sites of antiquity, flora and
\nfauna, and life with the Bedouin. It is their roguish humour and warm
\nhospitality as much as the magnificence of these deserts and mountains that
\nmake a visit to Rum a unique experience. This book tells you everything you
\nneed to know.<\/p>\n
