The importance of this collection lies in its origins: for the first time, leading Saudi Arabian historians have created a history of the Arabian Peninsula which analyses that history from an internal Arabian perspective.

A History of the Arabian Peninsula explores the original Bedouin settlement of the region, the development of the major urban areas of Arabia during the Umayyad period, the socio-political and economic developments in the Hijaz and Najd up to the eighteenth century into the modern era, and the rise and development of the Saudi state.
