Despite the small size of this book, it contains many benefits. This is because it combined history and travel, as it recounts the history of Andalusia since the earliest times. Tracing its history before the Arabs arrived there, and its conquest by "Tariq bin Ziyad," then the entry of "Abd al-Rahman al-Dakhil" and the establishment of an Arab kingdom, "Muhammad Kurd" shows the strengths that enabled the Arabs to establish a state and civilization, when Europe was sinking into darkness. However, the situation changed when Ferdinand and Isabella eliminated the Andalusian presence. The author has devoted himself to analyzing the causes and manifestations of Andalusian weakness. Then Muhammad Kurd took off the robe of the historian at that time, and put on the garb of the traveler. He told us what he saw of the remaining monuments of Andalusia, explaining the cultural role of the Arabs in Andalusia before and after its fall. It is a unique book that combines the arts of narration and description.
