Every year, I embark on a journey that I consider a hands-on, real-world experience that I undertake personally, under my own responsibility and at my own expense, to learn as much as I possibly can—and so that others who believe, as I do, in the value of personal experience as a useful practical lesson can learn with me. This kind of learning, in my view, is no less important than experiments conducted in a laboratory, regardless of that lab’s nature or its role in life.”
A brisk yet enriching tour blending intellectual delight, cultural benefit, and spiritual amusement is what awaits you with Professor Amin Salama. He made sure to document everything he witnessed during his travels—especially to France, a powerful stronghold of modern European civilization, and to Spain, rich with the fragrance of the East and steeped in an Arab history that spanned eight centuries and still leaves traces to this day. You explore with him through the eyes of a traveler who sees, listens, and converses with people of all nationalities to understand what stirs in their minds and imaginations.
His book brims with vivid descriptions of all kinds: he left no sight unworthy of depiction. He described streets, buildings, shops, restaurants, cafés, nature, and went on to museums, palaces, historical landmarks, and even nightclubs—celebrating all their charms, arts, and skills born of modern science and technology. These marvels are truly a source of national pride and a joy to hearts and eyes alike.
