SAUDI ARAMCO WORLD : SEVEN WELLS OF DAMMAM In the middle 1930's the pattern was vividly acted out in the desert of eastern Saudi Arabia a few thousand yards from the Persian Gulf. There American wildcatters drilled six wells and were nearly withdrawn from what appeared to be a costly failure before their historic well—Dammam No. 7—struck oil in commercial volume. SAUDI ARAMCO WORLD : THE BEAUTY OF BEDOUIN JEWELRY My conclusion is that Islam introduced the beauty of Bedouin jewelry to Spain sometime during the 800 years of Islamic rule there (See Aramco World, September- October 1976), and that the Spanish conquistadors then carried the artistic themes - and materials - to Mexico, Central America and the southwestern regions of the UnitedStates.

SAUDI ARAMCO WORLD : INDEXES : BACK ISSUES : 1970S The magazine of cultures and connections. Current Issue; Archives; Go SAUDI ARAMCO WORLD : THE LURE OF ALEPPO Completed around 1090, it is an architectural masterpiece whose trim of lacy stone echoes the ribbon-like molding on the Byzantine ruins in the countryside. One of Aleppo's most brilliant periods - the rule of the Hamdanid Sayf al-Dawla, whose name means "Sword of the Dynasty" -THE QUEST FOR BLUE
The Egyptian name for the blue they used transliterates phonetically as hsbd iryt, which means “artificial lapis lazuli.”The name reflected the high regard for the semiprecious gemstone that, together with cobalt, azurite, turquoise and indigo, was one of several sources of blue-hued raw materials Egyptian craftsmen used in pigments, amulets, beads, jewelry, scarabs, statuary and textiles.

Read article BRICKWORK IN THE LAND OF PALMS Written and photographed by Jeff Koehler Along the northern edge of the Sahara, in the part of Tunisia called _Bled el-Djerid_—Land of the Palms—the regular pruning of vast date-palm orchards literally fuels a centuries-old brickmaking industry, and local bricklayers have taken the kiln-fired masonry to heights of artistry.
