Motoring with Mohammed is a travel book written by Eric Hansen. The book is about the author’s journey to Yemen and the Red Sea in 1978. The author found himself shipwrecked on a desert island in the Red Sea, and when goat smugglers offered him safe passage to Yemen, he buried seven years’ worth of travel journals deep in the sand and took his place alongside the animals on a leaky boat bound for a country that he’d never planned to visit.
