DESCRIPTION:
Arabia – just the mellifluous word conjures images of desert kingdoms, tented Bedouin camps under starry skies, and markets full of fragrant spices, gold and camels. But Arabia of the 21st century is a fascinating and complex intermingling of ancient history and modern culture. From ruins of old civilizations to cities of glass and steel, from the beauty of its barren desert to the wealth of its seas; from goat markets that have existed for centuries to creating empires on land reclaimed from the sea, this is a fascinating region.
