Saudi Arabia A Personal Experience

"One's features change after every bath" is a Middle Eastern proverb which means that individuals, societies, & perhaps nations, undergo changes with each major experience. The immense oil revenues which enriched the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during the seventies & early eighties, transformed the country from poverty & obscurity to a world power. The recent Gulf War brought an unprecedented number of foreign troops to Saudi soil. As a result of this war, new changes, however subtle, are bound to appear in the national psyche. It will take several years for the manifestation of the full impact of these changes. This book reflects the views & impressions about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by an American woman who lived there during the mid-1980s. The author writes about her unique experience of observing the results of the technological modernization of Saudi Arabia.Tawfik, Heidi is the author of 'Saudi Arabia A Personal Experience' with ISBN 9780962945502 and ISBN 0962945501.
