The Image of Arabia

Now I have this book lying around at home with my gradnfathers large collection of fascinating books...old and new. I recently opened it up and was amazed at how beautifully Jedda was described and portraied. See I live in Jedda...seeing how the editors put together the book so truthfully, I thought 'finally a book that shows a city/country as it's true self'. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to look into Arabian life.
