"Travels in the Upper Egyptian Deserts" by Arthur E. P. Weigall is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work details the author's exploration and observations during his journeys through the desolate, yet picturesque, landscapes of Upper Egypt, focusing especially on the ancient quarries and other significant locations. The book aims to inspire interest in the rich archaeological heritage of the region, as well as the breathtaking beauty of its natural features. The opening of the work sets the stage for an engaging narrative, blending poetic descriptions of the Egyptian desert with personal reflections on the adventurous spirit of exploration. Weigall eloquently describes the sights and sensations of desert travel, including the brilliance of sunlight, the myriad colors of the landscape, and the historical remnants scattered throughout the terrain. He expresses a desire to transport readers to this enchanting wilderness, while also acknowledging the challenges and harsh realities of such an expedition. The first chapter introduces Weigall's ambition to awaken curiosity about a lesser-known aspect of Egypt, promising a captivating account of both the ancient and the natural beauty that lies beyond the familiar banks of the Nile.
