Treachery and love, scandals and intrigues, magical legends and cruel reality, amazing past and incredible reforms of the present - all this is the history of modern Arab monarchical dynasties. "Arabian Game of Thrones" is replete with stories from the tales of "One Thousand and One Nights" and earthly vices of rulers. Arising from a rift of eras, these dynasties created an unprecedented Arab world with new "wonders of the world" like Dubai - but remained deeply conservative. The real book is a journey into the forbidden halls of those who influence the modern world and whose luxurious palaces still stand on sand, oil and blood.
