Shah shares the same name as the first king, and a common ancestry.

Tahir will speak at the Fourth Interdependence Day Forum in Fes, Morocco. Tahir will be speaking at the Morccan-British Society, in London.

Tahir Shah is the author of ten books, chronicling a wide range of unusual and outlandish journeys. For him, there is nothing so important as deciphering the hidden underbelly of the lands in which he travels. He shuns well-trodden tourist paths, and avoids celebrated landmarks, preferring instead to position himself in a dusty café and observe life go by. He lives in Casablanca with his wife and two small children.

In additional to the challenges of the hardest expeditions imaginable, Tahir Shah has endured other extraordinary hardships. These include sixteen days in the solitary confinement of a Pakistani torture jail, after being arrested with his film crew in the summer of 2005, while travelling to Afghanistan. The second quality I search for is the ability to solve problems.
