{"product_id":"traveling-through-sinai","title":"Traveling through Sinai","description":"\u003cp\u003eSinai 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.\u003cbr\u003eStarting 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The American University in Cairo Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223221981528,"sku":"9789774162817","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9789774162817.jpg?v=1778505362","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/traveling-through-sinai","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
