A photographic journey in one of the most closed countries in the world. From West to East and from North to South, inebriated by clouds of incence and oud, among deserts, ruines and holy cities discovering castles, palaces, mosques, tombs and graffiti. The book documents the following cities: Makkah, Medina, Jeddah, Taif, Riyadh, Diriyyah, Majma'ah, Sadus, Hail, Gurayat, Sakaka, Al Jawf, Tabuk, Mada'in Saleh, Al Ula, Al Bid'a, Al Hufuf, Al Okair Port, Abha, Rijal Alma, Bani Bishr, Al Atef, Bilad Qahtan, Gizan, Farasan Island, Nejran. 800 original pictures shot by the author in the last five years. The most comprehensive photographic book about architectural heritage in Saudi Arabia. Review: Very brief overview - suitable as an introduction to Saudi architecture but nothing more. It lacks any in-depth description of any of the locations, and many more are missing. Review: Stunning photos - When you think of Saudi Arabia, not a lot of people know what to expect on a visual level, apart from sandy deserts and sky-scrapers. This book has what is just a stunning set of photos of the country's cultural heritage - places you never realised existed, with many looking as though they have travelled through a time capsule from Biblical lands and time. It's a beautiful portrait, and is well worth the price.

Overpriced book based on the printing and paper quality as well as the content
The book is overpriced. Low quality paper and print, small format and lack of in-depth explanation of the areas.
