Publisher's Synopsis

Reprint of Alan Villiers classic account, first published in 1940, of his voyage as a crew-member in a Kuwaiti dhow from Aden to Zanzibar and Rufiji, and then back to the Gulf and Kuwait with the monsoon winds. Villiers also spent some weeks with the Kuwaiti pearling fleet in the Gulf. Vivid and highly readable, Sons of Sindbad is not only a classic of maritime writing but also one of the finest books of Arabian travel.
