‘Tales from the Desert’ is the compelling, true story of a British expatriate who journeyed to Saudi Arabia as a young man to seek his fortune for a couple of years and ended up staying for twenty-five. The collection of real-life tales are amusing, mystifying, captivating and at times downright terrifying.

Journeying to the mystical deserts of Arabia in the 1970s, when the world economy revolved around the price of oil and the concept of Islamic fundamentalism was barely known, the author takes the reader through a joyride of experiences including the unfolding drama of the first Gulf War and a ‘too close for comfort’ view of the uprising during the Arab Spring.
