The fascinating story of the Arabian Peninsula from antiquity to modern times

Roads of Arabia: Archaeological Treasures of Saudi Arabia explores five chapters in the history of the Arabian Peninsula, spanning early prehistoric settlements; maritime exploration; caravan trading routes that linked the region with Asia, Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean; routes of holy pilgrimage emerging in the 7th century CE; and the social and economic developments between the 14th and 16th centuries that set the stage for the modern day region.

Co-published in November 2018 by Kaph books, Louvre Abu Dhabi and Musée du Louvre, the book was conceived and design in three languages: English, French and Arabic.
