Photography Desert Gardens Arabia Najran Desert

Tchekof Minosa’s 1984 picture book Najran Desert Garden of Arabia blends striking photography with first-hand travel narrative to showcase the hidden oases, mud-brick forts and vibrant souks of Saudi Arabia’s deep south. This scarce vintage hardcover pairs 152 full-page plates with concise, reflective text, making it a prized reference for collectors of Middle Eastern history, art and photography alike.

This copy is personally signed by Minosa on the title page and carries a neat gift inscription, adding provenance without obscuring the author’s autograph. The dust jacket shows typical shelf scuffs for a nearly forty-year-old title, yet the book remains square and tight; pages are crisp with only light thumb marks on a handful of leaves and no dog-ears or smoke odours.

Ideal for scholars of Arabian antiquities, travel photographers, or anyone curating a signed Middle East photobook shelf, Najran Desert Garden of Arabia offers both visual inspiration and a conversation-worthy collectible.
