About these texts
From an Eid picnic to ancient writing in clay, these texts look at how the past lives on in places, customs and objects. Eid in Wadi Hanifa follows Riyadh’s families to the valley at Eid; Misfat Al Abriyeen visits a mud village in the mountains of Oman where people have lived for three hundred years; and Shibam’s towers asks how the mud-brick tower houses of Hadramaut are kept standing. At the higher levels, the texts read the evidence that archaeologists and historians work from.
