To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Near the southern end of the country is the city of Mecca, the capital of the country, about seventy-five miles from the Red Sea. The entire interior of the country, 1, 400 miles in extent, north and south, and over 500 miles in width in the central and northern portions, is high and dry, entirely devoid of rivers, and is from 3, 000 to 4, 000 feet above sea level. This great sandy plateau raises the finest camels and the swiftest horses in the world. On this great interior plain are many place...s where water is found, and wherever it can be ob- tained the Arabs have built towns. But the in- 102 FROM INDIA TO THE WAR ZONE secure nature of the country arises from the pecu- liar habits of the people. The population exceeds 6, 000, 000, of which fully one-fourth are Bedouins, or dwellers in tents, and the remainder, the Fel- lehin, have fixed habitations of some kind. The Fellahin, or peasants, till the soil, while the Bedouins breed cattle. The criminal classes, who are known as the wandering Arabs of the desert, those who disdain making their living by honest work, live in the out-of-the-way places, have the speediest horses, and are the terror of the owners of caravans, for they are merciless to all men and are swift and sure in their attacks.
