Book Synopsis
Text in Arabic. A Bedouin tribe travels in search of fertile pastures for its livestock, choosing to pitch its tents near the Valley of the Birds. But soon, the sheppards are distracted by mysterious birds causing them to lose their sheep in the fields. The tribe is divided in their opinion of how to deal with the birds: some want to eliminate them, though others are weary of the consequences this may result in. What is the secret of these little birds and of their sinister home deep in the valley? An adventurous novel detailing the life, myths, and legends of Bedouin tribes of the past and their encounters and travels across the barren desert landscapes and other desolate places.
