As the team leave the Sharqyia Sands behind them and continue back towards the Indian Ocean Mark reflects on desert travel.
Thomas referred to the monotony of the days travelling in his book Arabia Felix. Thomas would spend long days in the saddle, sometimes noting in his diary he found himself bored. But for the Jewel of Arabia team slow travel in the desert is anything but boring. Marks describes different patterns in the sand he has observed which give away the changing wildlife – from gerbils to scorpions and snakes.
Desert travel is about using all of your senses to absorb the landscapes around you.
Camels and Land Rovers are the main forms of transport for the team. They have 2 of each. But riding camels in the desert and driving vehicles in the desert take particular skills and Mark describes some of the essential skills, and his admiration for the way Amour reads the sand ahead, for driving through the sand.
