A detailed richly illustrated book on Saudi Arabia was written in Turkish language by Saleh Mustafa Islam, the Saudi ambassador to Turkey between 1957 and 1961. In the introduction the author states, that the intention of the work is to introduce modern Saudi Arabia to the Turkish population, which was according to his experiences as a diplomat in Ankara, not familiar with his native country’s true image.

The book describes the Saudi royal family, history of the foundation of the country, geography, geography, cities, current economy, education etc.

The book comes from the collection of Kasim Masoud Kasim Zainal Alireza (?-2016), from a prominent Saudi family Zainal Alireza.
