 “He who hath not seen Cairo hath not seen the world.”
From The Thousand and One Nights. In this handsomely
shot episode, students will explore one of the world’s
most legendary cities, made rich by the spice trade
and featuring famous mosques, madrasas, hammams and
fountains. From there, journey to Yemen and the
ancient cities of Shibam, “The Manhattan of the
Desert,” and Sana’a, which once served as a commercial
center and caravanserai for weary traders traveling
across the Arabian Desert. Part of the multivolume Arab World DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. |
