In Nubia he is carried by boat to the great temple of Isis at Philae and readsDeath on the Nilewhile sleeping in Agatha Christie's bed. He experiences star-filled nights and tranquil days with the isolated Ma'aza Bedouin and spends time with the monks of Mount Sinai. Over the course of several years, Roberts discovers a country that is as rich and enduring as the Nile, carving a fertile swathe through the arid desert.Roberts, Paul William is the author of 'River in the Desert A Modern Traveller in Ancient Egypt', published 2006 under ISBN 9781845111816 and ISBN 1845111818.
