Maggiori informazioni sul libro

A unique exploration of Islam is presented through the lens of Japanese photographer Ali Kazuyoshi Nomachi, a convert to the faith. His stunning, previously unseen images capture the spiritual essence of Mecca and Medina, showcasing breathtaking aerial views, vibrant crowds around the Ka'bah, and intimate portraits of Muslims in prayer. The book highlights the beauty of Islamic architecture and offers insights into a faith often shrouded in mystery for non-Muslims, made possible by rare permissions from Saudi authorities.
