World-renowned for publishing eye-poppingly beautiful coffee table tomes, New York book publisher Assouline has turned its attentions to AlUla, the stunning heritage city in the North-Western region of Saudi Arabia.
The new book, out today, is a fully immersive page turner entitled AlUla, featuring imagery by internationally-renowned photographer Robert Polidori, and interpretive illustrations by multidisciplinary artist Ignasi Monreal, each transporting you to the destination and offering a glimpse into the city’s rich history and local culture.
Home to Saudi’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hegra, AlUla itself is known as a cultural oasis and living museum, with more than 200,00 years of human history: from Paleolithic hunter-gatherers, civilizations such as the Nabataeans, Dadanites and Romans; Muslim pilgrims on their way to Mecca and Medina; and trade caravans travelling the Incense Route; to present-day communities who mingle and exchange cultural ideas with global travellers.
Available in Assouline’s exclusive Ulitmate and XXL formats, this oversize luxury volume is a celebration of milestones and natural wonders - a beautiful book we promise your coffee table will thank you for.
