Abstract
This is an academic yet personal essay, in a somewhat critical yet creative vein, of general interest as distinguished from a research paper or scholarly interpretation of the desert. It is, however, full of references/allusions to the poetical treatment of the desert and the like, real or symbolic, both in the Arabian and Western setting. Beginning and ending with special references to Qatar, it interweaves personal reflections with the picture of literary desert landscape, especially in poetry
