First published in 1841, this book documents the travels of American scholars Edward Robinson and Eli Smith through Palestine, Sinai, and Arabia in the mid-nineteenth century.

The book includes detailed descriptions of the landscape, as well as observations on the local people and their customs. A fascinating read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Middle East.
