Within these coffee table books, the Middle East reveals its profound history—holy destinations such as Mecca and Medina, the cultural identity of Al’Madinah, and the architectural majesty of Riyadh. Each title offers an intimate perspective on sites of worship and heritage sites, guiding readers through the mosques, monuments, and traditions that continue to shape the spiritual heart of the Middle East.
Landscapes of Memory
From the windy deserts of Saudi Arabia and the world’s largest oasis in Al-Ahsa, to Red Sea biodiversity and AlUla's colossal rock formations, these coffee table books showcase environments where nature and culture converge. Featuring original photography by leading international artists, the books document UNESCO World Heritage sites, ancient civilizations, and the enduring beauty of camels—icons of poetry, art, and myth.
Modern Vision, Eternal Culture
Along with history and tradition, the series explores the dynamic cities of today—Dubai with its architectural firsts and vibrant art scene, Abu Dhabi as a cultural crossroads, and Riyadh as a capital bridging the past and future. Presented with Assouline’s signature craftsmanship, these coffee table books are more than travel guides: they are keepsakes that honor the Middle East as both cradle of civilization and a region of unlimited creativity.
