Though Hogarth had worked as an archaeologist in Egypt and Syria and reportedly helped T. E. Lawrence to plan the Arab Revolt, he had little personal experience of Arabian exploration. However, his reading on the subject was both thorough and wide-ranging. As a result, The Penetration of Arabia displays an impressive interweaving of seminal Western texts on Arabian travel.
