Other religions than Islam are practiced, and Islam itself is practiced in a multitude of ways; there are other landscapes than the desert and other languages than Arabic. Nevertheless one can point to certain common features that have survived from past to the present, and which mean that we can speak of a distinctive culture" -- 0aArchitecturexArab countries.yHistoryzExhibitions.2Local 0aArab Countries2Local 0aArchitecturevMiddle EastxExhibitions.00aArchitecture2Local00aArchitecture2Islamic countriesvExhibitions.00aArchitecture2ExhibitionsvHistoryzArab countries00aArchitecture and society.vArab countries2 aMichael Juu Holm aKallehauge, Mette Maried1978-eeditor.10aLouisiana Museum of Art.
