As John was exploring the vastness of the Arizona desert, catastrophe struck. He lost his way due to a sudden sandstorm and found himself disoriented with no clue of which direction to go. Panic crept in as the sun beat down on him mercilessly.

Days turned into nights, and John's struggle for survival became more desperate than ever. He started rationing his water and scavenging for any edible plants he could find, as he had foolishly not packed enough food supplies for a long ordeal.

A Battle Against the Elements

The relentless heat gave John no respite. Temperatures soared well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and mirages danced in front of him, teasing him with visions of water that were nowhere to be found.

But against all odds, John persevered. He utilized survival skills he had learned from his previous camping experiences and built makeshift shelters to provide some protection from the elements. Throughout his journey, he kept reminding himself of his friends and family, who were anxiously waiting for his safe return.

His incredible willpower kept him going, and every step in the right direction gave him a sense of renewed hope. The thought of his loved ones waiting for him urged him to push through the physical and mental exhaustion.

The Resilience of the Human Spirit

After enduring a grueling journey of eleven days, John finally stumbled upon a small oasis nestled among the dunes. Tears filled his eyes as he dipped his parched lips into the cool water, savoring every precious drop that rejuvenated his body.

His faith in the indomitable spirit of human resilience was reaffirmed as he realized the extent of his accomplishment. Against overwhelming odds and extreme conditions, John managed to conquer the desert and emerge triumphant.

Inspiring Others

John's story serves as a beacon of hope for those who find themselves in desperate situations. It reminds us all of the strength that lies within us, even when faced with the harshest of circumstances.

The extraordinary memoir of global oil's former central banker

Ali Al-Naimi is the former Saudi oil minister - and OPEC kingpin - a position he held for the two decades between August 1995 and May 2016. In this time, Al-Naimi's briefest utterances moved markets. But it wasn't always that way.

Al-Naimi was born into abject poverty as a nomadic Bedouin in the 1930s, just as US companies were discovering vast quantities of oil under the baking Arabian deserts. From his first job as a shepherd boy, aged four, to his appointment to one of the most powerful political and economic jobs in the world, Out of the Desert charts Al-Naimi's extraordinary rise to power.

Described by Alan Greenspan as 'the most powerful man you've never heard of', Al-Naimi's incredible journey proves that anyone can make it - even a poor Bedouin shepherd boy. This is his exclusive inside story of power, politics and oil.

His Excellency Ali Ibrahim Al-Naimi is the former Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. One of the most powerful economic and political jobs in the world, he held this post from August 1995 to May 2016.

Prior to that he held a wide range of leadership positions in the Kingdom's national oil company, Saudi Aramco. He was the first Saudi national to be named President of the company in 1984 and became the first Saudi CEO in 1988. Al-Naimi joined the company, then called Aramco, as an office boy in 1947. A Bedouin, he was born in the deserts of eastern Arabia in 1935.
