Edged by the fearsome Empty Quarter to the North, the Arabian Sea to the South & resting on layers of history that stretch back to the dawn of human civilisation, the Hadhramaut
- heart of ` Arabia Felix`, in what is now Yemen
- is one of the wildest & most remote parts of Arabia, little-changed from when Freya Stark travelled there over 70 years ago. Tracing the ancient incense route, Stark set out to be the first westerner to discover the fabled lost city of Shabwa, which had captivated explorers & travellers for centuries. Though she journeyed through the canyons & mountains of the Hadhramaut extensively & by any means possible, Stark`s goal was never reached, but the ending to her story was nevertheless
- & in characteristic fashion
- dramatic. Having caught measles whilst staying in a sultan`s harem & with the region overrun by warring religious factions & bandits, she had to be evacuated by the Royal Air Force. Though Shabwa remained elusive, Freya Stark`s remarkable journey ensured that her name would forever be associated with Arabia & her travels hailed as intrepid & adventurous as any undertaken by other great explorers of Arabia such as T.E. Lawrence, Richard Burton & Charles Doughty.
