Title
Michael Asher's Lost Oasis Expeditions
Description
A graduate of Britain's University of Leeds, he has served in the Parachute Regiment and in 23 SAS Regiment (V). The most fascinating experience of his life, though, was the three years he spent living with a traditional Bedouin tribe in the Sudan, as one of them. A fluent speaker of both Arabic and Swahili, he has won two awards for desert exploration, from the Royal Geographical and Royal Scottish Geographical Societies, and in 1987 he and his wife, Mariantonietta Peru, became the first people ever to cross the Sahara desert from west to east by camel and on foot - a distance of 4500 miles in 9 months.
Michael Asher is a distinguished, best-selling author. His 18 books - including travel works, novels, and biographies of T.E. Lawrence and Wilfred Thesiger - have been translated into 10 languages including Arabic and Chinese. In 1996 he was elected a Fellow of Britain's prestigious Royal Society of Literature. He has presented three documentaries for Channel 4 TV, including films on Lawrence of Arabia, explorers Burton and Speke, and more recently the controversial 'The Real Bravo Two Zero', about the ill-fated SAS operation in Iraq. Michael Asher's Lost Oasis Expeditions offers small-scale, expert-led, real adventure expeditions in remote desert locations.
