Guides were willing to take outsiders, but due to their fear of the area, they were likely to abandon those who stayed too long in the forbidden areas. This was the case for Lorenzo Cabot and his party in their expedition to find Ubar; they ignored their guide's warnings, so he fled at the first opportunity.Lorenzo Cabot's journal
