Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I have lived, worked, and travelled extensively in Arabia and the Arab world for over 35 years, visiting all the countries in the Arabian Peninsula: Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Yemen.

Jeddah was my arrival place into Saudi Arabia, over 30 years ago. Since then I have travelled extensively throughout the country, including on each of the train lines (which are superb), most especially the Haramain between Jeddah and Madinah.

I only visited Qatar, for the first time 20 years ago. Again, I have travelled comprehensively, most recently enjoying the excellent Metro, Tram, and Electric Bus services.

However, before Saudi & Qatar - it was Oman and the UAE which were my introduction to the Arabian Peninsula. I first visited them 38 years ago when the only skyscraper on the Sheikh Zayed Road was the World Trade Centre, and Al Bustan Palace had just opened.

In all these countries, the changes have been astounding; it’s the latest iteration that all are rightly proud of.

In each of the states I have been used to travelling independently - without the backup of officials or other people - which means that I have experienced each country as a tourist. Speaking Gulf Arabic and having a good understanding of the culture (I used to provide cultural advice to executives of major companies relocating to the region), I enjoy the familiarity and differences of these exciting countries.

I do hope you will also enjoy your visit using my books.

4.0 out of 5 stars For the intrepid explorer. Not the ususal type of guide book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 22, 2024

The immediate first impression when you open this book is - no colour pictures! Although there are lots of photographs and maps they are all in black and white. Then you realise that this is rather an unusual book and not simply a glossy coffee table, travel guide, as it describes itself on the front (coloured) cover.

Opening the book to the introduction, the first pages are a list (in reverse order) of the authors favourite places in Saudi, although teasing us with the second one in by then telling us that tourists are advised not to visit the area. It is thus deliberately left off the accompanying map. So, you get the impression that this book is written from the point of view of a local and indeed unlike the usual travel guides the author states that there is not a list of hotels since any list would quickly be out of date.

Find your hotel guide elsewhere then. This guide is more a description of places as well as being filled with inciteful minutia about visas, travel, clothing etc. Indeed there is a stress on the right way to behave if you don’t want to offend, from how to eat to what clothing to wear. The author clearly envisages that you will be an intrepid explorer interacting openly with the locals so, the advice is helpful.

If you delve deeply into the text you will find more information than you would normally come across in a simple guide and it will help you in planning your own trip. I have yet to put my own planned journey into action, but this guide is already well thumbed in its preparation.
I give this 4 stars, why only four? Will there aren’t any colour photographs! I guess we’ll just have to provide our own.
