The Police's Synchronicity Tour ran between July 23, 1983 and March 4, 1984.
During the early dates, the band resided at a mansion in Bridgehampton, New York and were flown to the concerts. This was the band's final tour as a working unit and one of the highest-grossing tours of the 1980's.
"I was never relaxed," drummer Stewart Copeland recalled. "I had so much anxiety. And I know how crazy that must sound to people who do real jobs." Copeland did however cite the August 18 show at Shea Stadium as the peak of "Policemania": "Playing Shea Stadium was big because, even though I'm a septic tank (rhyming slang for 'Yank'), The Police is an English band and I'm a Londoner – an American Londoner – so it felt like conquering America."
The November 2 and 3 shows in Atlanta were filmed and recorded for a live album and DVD.
"Tea in the Sahara" is the tenth track from the fifth and final studio album by the Police titled "Synchronicity", recorded at AIR Studios, Montserrat between December 1982 – February 1983 and released on June 17, 1983. The overdubs were done at Le Studio in Quebec during January–February 1983. The album's title and much of the material for the songs were inspired by Arthur Koestler's "The Roots of Coincidence". Sting was an avid reader of Koestler, and also titled "Ghost in the Machine" after one of his works. At the 1984 Grammy Awards the album was nominated for a total of five awards including Album of the Year & won three. At the time of its release and following its tour the Police were hailed as the "Biggest Band in the World".
The lyrics of "Tea in the Sahara" were inspired by the Paul Bowles book "The Sheltering Sky". The first section of that book is called "Tea in the Sahara". In it, the character Port is told a story, in which three sisters wait for a prince to join them for tea in the Sahara Desert, but the prince never returns. Sting was a fan of the novel, and based the lyrics of the song on the story.
Paul Bowles has written very many books but he wrote a book called 'The Sheltering Sky' which became a film by Bertolucci, a few years ago. I read it long before it was a film. It's one of the most beautiful, sustained, poetic novels I've ever read. It's about Americans that regard themselves as travelers and not tourists, and I class myself in that category. I'm a hopeless tourist, but I'm constantly on the move. There was a story within that story - that was a sort of Arab legend that was told in the story of three sisters who invite a prince to a tea party out in the desert to have tea, tea in the Sahara. They have tea, and it's wonderful, and he promises to come back and he never does. They just wait and wait and wait until it's too late. I just loved this story and wrote a song called 'Tea In The Sahara'. I don't know whether Paul Bowles ever heard it, probably not, but it's still one of my favorite songs. — Sting, 'All This Time' CDROM, 1995
Guitarist Andy Summers, who claimed to have been the one who gave Sting The Sheltering Sky, used a special technique in recording his guitar part for the song, involving turning the guitar up to near-feedback levels and "wobbling" it.
On 'Tea In The Sahara' I used what I call, tongue in cheek, my 'wobbling cloud' effect. It comes with using a highly overloaded guitar, to the point of feedback, and moving the chord off just as it's about to break. It's a sound I do a lot in concert, this sort of echo guitar, where basically I turn most of the signal off so that all you hear is echo. Then you control it with the volume pedal, so you just hear this floating, shimmering sound. And you've got to play the right chords, you can't play G major or D7 - it sounds cruddy. You've got to play space harmonies to make it more like that - triads with open strings, tended harmonies like 9ths and 11ths. It's really all by ear. — Andy Summers, Guitar World, 4/1987
The Police played it on their Synchronicity tour, with Sting playing an oboe at the end of the song. Despite Sting's affection for the song, he has since claimed that the track was too fast. He said in 1993, "I've always loved the song. There's so much space in it. But I think we played it too fast on the album and live."
