Najran Desert Garden Of Arabia

Art, Design & Photography Biography & Memoir History

Najran Desert Garden of Arabia by photographer-explorer Tchekof Minosa is a scarce 1984 picture book that pairs striking desert images with the little-known history of southern Saudi Arabia. The 152-page hardcover invites collectors of Middle Eastern photography and vintage travel narratives to experience Najran’s shifting dunes and ancient oases without leaving home.

This copy is personally signed by Minosa and further gift-inscribed, making it a thoughtful present for lovers of antiquarian photobooks. A protected dust jacket (showing light shelf scuffs) still brightens the shelf, while the tight, smoke-free binding shows only minor thumbing to a handful of pages—no dog-ears or ex-library marks.

Ideal for adults who appreciate art-and-culture nonfiction, the volume stands as both a visual record and a collectible keepsake from the author’s 1980s expeditions. Secure this signed edition to enrich any curated collection of Arabian history, photography, or biographies and true stories.
