“In the evening of that day we took train on the Soudan Government Railway. The following morning I had a new experience; for I had never before seen the mirage from the window of a railway carriage.”

“Next morning we were up at sunrise … at mid-day we started—three Englishmen, six native servants, forty camels, and ten camel-men. Our route lay along the north bank of the Blue Nile.”

ILLUSTRATED EPUB · 47 ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND PLATES · TWO FOLDING MAPS

Arthur J. Hayes’s richly documented 1905 journey begins in Sudan, follows the Blue Nile toward Lake Tsana in Abyssinia, and returns to Egypt through Kassala and the Atbara valley. His account combines desert and river travel, natural history, photography, local encounters and practical expedition detail.

This Nile Book Store edition includes:
the complete English text; all 47 original photographs and plates; two original folding maps; the entomological appendix; linked contents; and a new natural-history-inspired cover.

Illustration preview: The gallery presents genuine images from the 1905 edition, including the source of the Blue Nile, Kassala, the Goz Regeb mirage, the Atbara bridge and the original route map.

Historical context: This early twentieth-century British travel account reflects the terminology and colonial assumptions of its era. Some descriptions may now be considered dated or offensive. It is presented unabridged for historical and research value.
