Many people see it as a mere means of entertainment, while others see it as the best window to learn about the cultures of different peoples and interact with them directly. Our guest in this episode is Sultan Al Marwani, who is known for his love of travel and exploring cultures. He believes that reading and learning about a country’s culture and history before traveling there gives the traveler an enjoyable experience that allows him to understand historical events. Al Marwani spoke at length about the Andalusian civilization and the golden ages of Arab and Islamic civilization, and about the great historical and tourism legacy it left in Spain, which made it compete with countries of the world in tourism based on this heritage. His exploratory trips did not stop at Spain and the Maghreb, but he also headed to discover Bukhara and Samarkand, which were historically known as Transoxiana, where he witnessed the evidence of the Islamic conquests and the traces of the early conquerors and met many of the sons of the Arab tribes that settled in those countries and maintained their Arab identity and appearance. Al-Marwani says that there are destinations that we have given a more touristic reputation than they deserve, such as America and Paris, to the point that we caused tourism prices to rise in northern Turkey. We left many Arab and Islamic countries that we did not visit and get to know their culture, including our neglect of Saudi cities full of cultural diversity. — • Suggest a guest for the Square podcast by contacting us at [email protected]. • The Circlez app helps you save your money and join safe monthly financial associations that guarantee your privacy and receive your full savings on time, and gives you the opportunity even in the initial roles to be able to book your role with ease. https://thmanyah.link/o6j • Download the Manafa app and start investing: https://thmanyah.link/wjh • Apply for financing for your facility: https://thmanyah.link/uam • Own smart residential units with sustainable real estate services and innovative purchasing solutions, with Safa Investment Units: https://thmanyah.link/sy3 • Whether you are a coffee lover prepared by professional coffee makers or prefer to prepare it at home.
