Product Description

This is the account of Sir Ranulph Fiennes' 24-year search for the lost city of Ubar, the Koranic version of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Arabian Desert. The existence of Ubar has been reported by many travellers over the centuries including Marco Polo, Ibn Batuta and Bertram Thomas. Having searched for the site for many years, Sir Ranulph teamed up with an American film-maker in 1968 to track down the likely site. A complete excavation is being carried out with the support of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos of Oman in the remote Bedouin village of Shisr and will take up to ten years. The author's other books include his autobiography "Living Dangerously" and "The Feather Men".

A superb book, re-creating a true spirit of Adventure and bringing alive culture clashes between the East and the West.

Atlants of the Sands 24 Mar 2010

By B. A. Jones

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

We visited the lost city of Ubar last December so it was interesting to read the history of the place and how it was found after 'disappearing' into the ground.

Rubbish 9 May 2010

By Mr. A. Ahasan

Format:Paperback

The title is wrong totally. The writer needs to learn how to write as he has filled this book with awful history of his northern expedition most of the times and his story about other things. You will loose your patience.
