Riḥla ilā Bilād al-‘Arab
Riḥla ilā Bilād al-‘Arab starts with the Arabic alphabet and gradually and systematically
builds the reading and writing skills and mastery of Fuṣḥā grammar. As students develop
their reading, writing, and grammar skills, they will be learning about Arab history, society,
and culture. This book contextualizes Arabic grammar teaching with sufficient and relevant
drills and exercises. Added personal and cultural interest is given by the diary of Amal, an
American student of Arab descent, who travels to Jordan and Palestine.
T his textbook includes maps, illustrations, and photographs and is accompanied by audio
on the companion website that can be viewed here: www.routledge.com/cw/younes .
T he book is designed for Arabic heritage students—students who can understand and
speak an Arabic dialect (Egyptian, Iraqi, Moroccan, etc.) but are unfamiliar with Modern
Standard Arabic, known as Fuṣḥā.
