Description
- Used Book in Good Condition
Jeddah: 'Bride of the Red Sea'. This is a cosmopolitan city, ancient and modern hub, unique seat of civilisation and meeting point for millions of pilgrims. It is a city without compare. At its core lies a network of old merchant houses, mosques, markets and shaded walkways. Its history is etched on every balcony, dome and minaret. But surrounding the ancient city is a strikingly modern metropolis, built with grace and vision. This book evokes the dual character of the city, capturing in beautiful photographs the essence of its ancient and modern charm. Review: a little dated, but the pictures are fascinating - This book is a bit dated, but it's a big coffee table book with images and maps of Jeddah that you won't find anywhere else. I have found it invaluable in studying a country that still has very few images available in the public domain.
