AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A group of English tourists travelling along the Nile by boat are kidnapped by locals and ultimately rescued by the Camel Corps.

Very much of its time, Arthur Conan Doyle's original work displayed a mistrust of Islam and a strong favouring of British imperialism: judging from contemporary reviews, Dion Titheradge carried those elements into this adaptation.
