The Historical Mosques of Saudi Arabia

by Geoffrey R.D. King

(Since 1972 Dr King has been compiling a photographic survey of Saudi mosque architecture, region by region, including many mosques that have now been rebuilt. In this book he shows how they blended outside influence with indigenous traditions to produce often unique forms. Careful examination is set against the available literary sources and he provides a full bibliography of both Arabic and non-Arabic works)
