Summary:
In the middle of deserts or steppes, towns assume vast religious, cultural, economic and political influence. Cairo, Damascus and Sanaa exemplify the Islamic city, centered around the traditional medina, mosques and souks, beset by the modern problems of industrialization and overpopulation. This documentary describes the architecture and important areas of several Islamic cities in various areas of the Moslem world.
