Arabia takes viewers deep into the heart of an extraordinary country for a surprising look at the history, culture and religion of the Arabian Peninsula. Steeped in ancient history and unique customs not found anywhere else in the world, Arabia mystifies us, shimmering like a desert mirage. Home to camel races, legendary Bedouin hospitality, the birth of the Muslim faith, and Meccah, the holiest city on Earth, Arabia and its people have flourished for thousands of years in one of the harshest environments on the planet. Yet the West knows little about its fascinating culture, which has remained hidden for far too long. Narrated by Academy Award winning actress Helen Mirren, Arabia offers a deeper understanding of this mysterious culture and way of life that remains largely hidden from our view.
