Overview

Saudi Arabia is a mysterious kingdom best known today for its vast deserts and opulent oil riches. But very little is known or understood about the ordinary family lives of everyday Saudis. In TICKET TO SAUDI ARABIA, Laurie Halse Anderson examines the fascinating landscape, culture and history of this Middle Eastern centre. She compares the lifestyles of the traditional nomads with the professional city dwellers, the basic tenets of Islam and the importance of the city of Mecca to Muslims worldwide, as well as the food, work, hobbies and customs of ordinary people throughout Saudi Arabia. Written in easy-to-understand language, it includes full-colour photos, sidebars, an index and an emergent reading glossary.
