For centuries, Jeddah has been famous as the port for Mecca and the gateway to Arabia. In the past quarter of a century, a new Jeddah has arisen around the old, a hundred times larger and more populous. In this book, the mayor of Jeddah tells in his own words how he, together with architects and planners, set about creating a new city every bit as beautiful and unique as the old. What they achieved is nothing short of a marvel, a unique open-air museum adorned with sculptures by Joan MirĂ³, Henry Moore and many others. The book gives a pictorial guide to this most fascinating of Arabian cities. No library descriptions found. |
