Autor

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.
