Amazing - I've never seen that before - thanks Richard. I found it quite emotional . I worked as a land surveyor in Saudi Arabia from 1976 for four years. We lived in tents - all over the Kingdom - we drank coffee with Bedouins - sat in their camps - looked warily at their guns... - I too fell in love with the desert.
Thank you. I wanted to learn about desert : sitting in the comforts of arm chair. Honestly, i wanted to know why great prophets came from deserts. This documentary revealed a great man to me. He is truely great. Life is not cosmopolitan: it is desert. Thanks.
extraordinary docu from the past....had priveilge of skirting the western end of Rub Al Khali in the 90s....from the comfort of a Land Cruiser....even then could see and was humbled by this great expanse of desert......
Beautifully done. Really enjoyed reading Arabian Sands. I visited the Sahara desert a two years in April, since then I can't get the thoughts of it out of my head. Have foolish ideas of going to the Empty Quarter or the deserts of Jordan. Maybe one day!
So what do you think of The Marsh Arabs? Is it a good book? I want to read it because Wilfred Thesiger's talks alot about those people and I am more interested now?
@Taco Bell Valet Yes i agree! I have met lots of people that call themselves Arabs, however i also met those that live in the desert and they are like night and day. In their language, customs, attitude, and their reverence for God is totally different. I wish i could spend just one summer in the desert with them!
Mubarak bin Landan-The blessed one of London! He really was one hell of an Englishman. Right up there with Enoch Powell & Winston Churchill. Just before he died The Telegraph did a great feature on him including a comment on his battered features. A combination of boxing & bad weather he wryly concluded!
Wow. I have really enjoyed this documentary. So many things to take away from this. I feel as though I have mingled with the spirit of the Bedu. Fascinating. I suppose everyone must make their own journeys and find contentment with their reward if at all it is as much as a drink of clear tasteless water. Thank you for this video.

he was not an explorer, he was an intelligent agent after he accomplished his mesion with his partner tramp tomas in zinjebar now tanzanya after the masker against the Omani rulers , he run out and reached salalah and afraid to be captured by the Omani, crossed the empty quarter north then east to Bahrain then to basra he met philpi and helped him to contenue on his secret mesion more over he hided his true name to Mubarak bin London like his other colleagues

This second run is also great. He was there when it still was the way it always was. I am buying that book. It should be great.
this documentary deserves to be restored to ultra hd version.
Thank you.

Getting in the empty quarter is a really bad idea
I recently read Arabian Sands and now I'm reading The Marsh Arabs. Read them if you can get these books. An incredible man.

A beautiful look into the past. I intend one day to traverse the Empty Quarter, insha Allah.
Thankyou Richard,a wonderful journey into the past,…..,we could learn a lot in2024.

Many thanks for uploading this spectacular film. I've wanted to see it for some time, but didn't know where to find it.
I read Arabian Sands with great interest having lived in Muscat in 1973. Well, times have changed.

44:16 Old Dubai, it's really amazing
We were as insignificant as John, Paul, George and Ringo I saw laboring across the sands.
ha... I'd be humming a few of their tunes in the desert myself
Great upload!

Suffering in Africa - Captain James Riley - Enjoy.
@@geroconnor5222 Thank you.
Very accurate
Have you gotten to spend some time in the Empty Quarter?
The dancing girl who appears at 10:35 is really quite stunning. Very pretty
The producers thanked rulers of UAE and Oman scouts but curious to know why no one from KSA was mentioned
At that time, the borders were still not defined.
Amazing story.
eu morreria onde os caras, tranquilos, catam..
do you have any other documentary about the Empty Quarter
A GLOBO AINDA NÃO APRENDEU...
