A trip to Hijaz

A book full of graceful sarcasm and deep reflections, as Al-Mazni describes his trip to Hijaz in his lively, sarcastic style. Al-Mazni spends his time in Hijaz as if he was having a silent dialogue with the place. You see him watching, contemplating, and laughing between the lines, as he conveys to us the details of the places and faces he encountered with a vision that combines amazement and ridicule. In this journey, the reader comes close to Al-Mazni‘s ideas about life and people. He does not content himself with describing the path, but rather takes us on paths of contemplation, recounting his observations of the people of Hijaz and their customs with tenderness and admiration, but without losing his sharp sense of criticism of what he finds strange. A Journey to Hejaz is not just a narration of scenes, but rather an invitation to contemplate man and nature, written by Al-Mazni with an open heart and a critical eye.
