Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – Seen by a Diplomat’s Spouse

The wife of the ambassador Elman Arasli says in the beginning of the book, “In the Spring of 1994, we arrived in the Arabian Peninsula. My husband Elman Arasli was appointed extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador representing the Azerbaijan Republic at the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We had to establish the first embassy for our newly independent state in this country. To tell the truth, I was not at all willing to travel to any place, as this meant parting again with the children and leaving home …”
The book discusses various historical, social and political issues in the Kingdom in addition to the description of customs and traditions. It is an important documentation of several years that the author, Elivera Arasli, spent in the Kingdom where she has been a witness of many developments in the Kingdom in general and in Riyadh, the capital in particular. The author sheds light on the diplomatic life in Riyadh as well as the prevailing customs and traditions. Beside this, the author designated part of the book to give an account of two important regions of Saudi Arabia: the Hijaz and the Eastern Province. She gives a historical overview of the developments that took place in these two regions.
The book as a whole portrays a number of life aspects in the Kingdom and a detailed literary narrative of many of the important events and developments experienced by the author.
Very useful and informative for Sisters going to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with their families!
