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.

In 1953, my grandfather accompanied Sir Wilfred Thesiger on his expedition in Northern Pakistan. They trekked from Hunza valley to the eastern reaches of the Hindu Kush mountains. Sir Wilfred devoted 3 pages of his memoir "Among the Mountains" to my grandfather.
Thank you, very much, for offering this.
Hi Skymaster, can you contact me? I am very interested and doing a media piece on Thesiger
I met him in 1994 in Abu Dhabi
I remember hearing Thesiger speak at the Royal Geographical Society in London in 1993/4 and was impressed by a comment he made during the questions that he had never done a day's paid work in his life, but had also never had an idle day.
Perhaps we are all losing out by the demands that even rich people have to work to get richer, and so there are now very few people in the world who can focus their lives on a goal or even a whim, to the benefit of everyone else, and so most today are bogged down trying to keep their heads above water and keep on top of their jobs and families, and don't have time or mental energy for a hobby never mind an unpaid vocation.
One of the greatest British travellers among the Arabs; “I shall always remember how often I was humbled by those illiterate herdsmen who possessed, in so much greater measure than I, generosity and courage, endurance, patience, and lighthearted gallantry. Among no other people have I ever felt the same sense of personal inferiority.
Treat to see the great man and hear his words of advice ..thanks for this video
Este hombre es un ser humano fuera de serie, respetuoso de los hábitos y costumbres de Etnias diferentes. Su vida debería ser difundida y conocida por las nuevas generaciones. Un ejemplo de modestia e inteligencia. No he sabido de los Hunzas desde mi etapa escolar, en donde leí un libro sobre esta notable gente, de gran inteligencia y largas vidas. Mi admiración y respeto por Sir Wilfred.
Truly a treasure for me to see this interview. Wilfred Thesiger did so much for future generations to learn about different ways of life.
What a great man ... the people he staid with in south of iraq are still there ..educated but still have the same life now ... rest in peace you can't find people like him anymore
Salams bro I met him in Abu Dhabi you are right men like him are no more
Just like my grandad died in 1966 born in 1890
what an interesting fellow, great to hear him!
Great story! Fascinating!
Fascinating to hear the old guy express his thoughts and excellent analysis by the narrator. Anyone who enjoyed this should check out 'Home from the hill'.
I met this man he was a legend ex SAS
IN Abu Dhabi in 1994 invited him to special forces camp for lunch
This is SUCH an incredibly important video. And I am sure our Arab/Bedu/African sisters and brothers would love to watch it too. Is there any way of getting the subtitles corrected, especially for when Wilfred is talking?
Im reading his book about his life what an amazing man they don't make men like this any more
He truly lived his life....
Disgraceful, the way the nurse speaks to him. He is "Sir Wilfred" and deserves respect, rather than to be treated like one of her friends. Horrible.
georgetjn Yea man I was cringing as she was yelling at him so obnoxiously.
respect sir Wilfred 💯
Why did no one bother to ask this man about his opinion on any intervention in the middle east? Think of how much better if a place it would be today if America never invaded..Iraq is ok, Syria is ok, no ISIS, millions of civilians alive...
Rare untold truth, because the mission of these people was to 'explore', 'share knowledge', 'dominate' and 'exploit the wealth' of this region. You can see all people here cheering for him, as they are still enjoy the destruction they have brought about to the region or they are in the absolute ignorance. The legacy of these highly praised 'Sirs' and 'fellows' is what you can see in the unpleasant reality they have cultivated the seeds for.

The interviewer didn't really listen to what Sir Wilfred was saying. He had his own agenda and licentious thoughts: the film was about the interviewer, not Sir Wilfred.

Great quote
I admire Wilfred Thesiger and Bertram Thomas.
Arabian sands and the Marsh Arabs are my favorite books
I wonder why the Rachid brothers did not want to talk on film?
I'm reading Wilfred Thesiger the life of the great explorer.....I cant read it fast enough....and I want to read the Marsh Marsh Arabs soon after too.
اتمنى إن احصل على هذه الصور الجميلة التي تحكي تاريخ اجدادي
Respect sir.
A truly great man…… his life utilised to the full
He's mentioned in Frank Lynn's the Burma Campaign. Often men who do spectacular things, aren't, in fact, very good men. Thesiger and Wingate were amazing but not very human nor humane.
Could anyone write what he said between 5:10 and 5:33
What an ignominious finale for this iconic traveler☹️ Like a caged bird.....
There are conservation efforts by Iraqi birders to restore the damage done to the Basra marshlands for both people and migrating birds👍🏻
Most, not all, care home staff mean well but generally are poorly educated, thick as mince or immigrants with no attachment to their wards - that’s why they work there = cheap and cheerful🤔
It must be frustrating and saddening to watch how the area of a people that Thesiger clearly was very fond of, both the people and the area, was destroyed.5:10 Thesiger has a point there, Saddam did it in his own country. Not that it makes the deed any less horrific. Pity, I can't make out his words clearly.
Read his book THE LIFE OF MY CHOICE. No one leads a life like WT anymore.

They named him Mubark bin london,,,
That‘s funny because he was born and raised in Addis Abbeba, Ethiopia
.. The Eton Bedu comparison seems particularly silly. And not good silly at that.
May god forgive him And accept him. in his youth he was a tall and strong man a mountain but old age!!

Arabian Sands intro, talk about climate change....some 35.000 yrs ago the arabian desert was green.
lol never knew he lived this long , no offence to this great man
Amazing, classy chap!! R.I.P. ❤
he was a genuise British intelligent agent , he and tramp tomas , who plotted the over cue in zenjebar then tanzanya now , and run away both separately to salalah to cross the empty quarter to avoid omanes sultanes in masqat then reach Bahrain to end in basra , they are not travelers at all
most if not all British intelligent agent were under cover as travelers.
