In his day he was a foremost authority on the region and wrote a number of books on the region in later life.An enthusiastic and skilled photographer, de Gaury is responsible for a large proportion of the photographs of the Arabian Peninsula from this period. He was also an accomplished watercolorist and sketch artist, frequently drawing or painting scenes from memory only hours after they had occurred.He was a close friend of Freya Stark and Lesley Blanch, who said of him:\"He spoke beautiful Arabic, and could talk Arabic lore. Living among, and as one of, the royal household in Arabia, he knew a great deal and could tell you marvellous legends.\"↑ ↑".
