{"product_id":"traveling-through-sinai-9789774162817","title":"Traveling through Sinai","description":"Sinai has long attracted travelers to its ancient caravan routes and haunting landscapes, and visitors have frequently left written accounts of their experiences. In this wide-ranging anthology, Deborah Manley and Sahar Abdel- Hakim have collected dozens of accounts and observations from travelers who have written about Sinai, its people, its sights, and its historical and biblical landmarks.\nStarting with Egeria, a fourth-century Christian who relates her visit to Mt. Sinai and the Burning Bush, Traveling through Sinai offers a diverse collection of voices over the centuries. Among themare the German friar Felix Fabri, who visited in 1492, and nineteenth-century antiquarian William Flinders Petrie, giving his impressions of the Bedouins of the peninsula. French novelist Alexandre Dumas writes of meeting two monks in the desert carrying a letter signed by Napoleon, while others describe crossing the canal at Suez, the ancient inscriptions of Wadi Mukattab, and the harrowing experiences of desert travel.","brand":"Deborah Manley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48278068297979,"sku":"9789774162817","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_9e320d54-de3e-4130-84b5-73c6379ba623.jpg?v=1774127428","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/traveling-through-sinai-9789774162817","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
