After years of embedding himself with Arab tribes and living according to their customs, Thesiger revered their ancient code of conduct that made survival in the desert possible: honesty, loyalty, courage, endurance and patience. Through his extensive travels in the Middle East, he developed lifelong friendships and yet also some controversial opinions. He criticized the rapid industrialisation of the region, insisting that "the discovery of oil in Arabia was the biggest disaster that could happen". He also strongly opposed the invasion of Iraq shortly before his death, which he warned would only cause "bitter, bitter hatred". This report is illustrated with Sir Wilfred’s photographs, and archival footage of him and his family.
