This work details the author’s travels and observations in the region of Etbaye, focusing particularly on the Bicharieh Arabs and the area’s gold mining history. It addresses the physical geography, indigenous cultures, and the logistical and political challenges of exploration in the northeastern Sudanese desert. Readers interested in first-hand travel narratives, 19th-century exploration, or the ethnography of the Nile-Sudan region will likely find this account compelling. The opening of the work consists of a preface and the initial stages of the author's journey through Nubia and toward the heart of Etbaye. Linant de Bellefonds recounts being drawn to the region after observing gold-bearing quartz in a riverbed and learning of ancient Egyptian gold mines, as well as the unique customs of local tribes such as the Bicharieh and Ababdieh. The narrative immerses readers in the practicalities of organizing desert caravans, the complex web of tribal alliances and rivalries, and the challenges posed by the harsh landscape—detailing camps, water sources, geography, and local histories, including a vivid portrait of the legendary bandit Issé. The narrative establishes both the practical obstacles and the rich cultural context the exploration presents, setting the stage for deeper ethnological and geographical descriptions as the journey progresses.
