First published in 2005. This little known traveller's account of the 1920's is at the same time amusing and perceptive. Beginning in Baghdad, travelling across the Gulf to Bahrain, Ameen Rihani enters the Arabia of Ibn Sa'oud, the fast-becoming legend of the region. Weaving a fine tapestry of colourful local information, political intrigue and characters of the time, Rihani's book is an undiscovered classic.
