 Journey to three of the world’s most venerable cities,
located on the crossroads of historically important
trade routes. From Syria’s capital of Damascus to the
country’s second largest city, Aleppo -- two of the
world’s longest continually inhabited cities -- to
Petra, Jordan, a remarkable desert metropolis carved
into limestone rock and once the home of the ancient
Nabateans, students will learn much about Arab culture
and obtain a firsthand look at architectural marvels
that are part of our common global heritage. Part of the multivolume Arab World DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. |
