Description

Explores Iram of the Pillars, the legendary Arabian city described in the Qur’an and later folklore as the City of a Thousand Pillars. Believed to have been destroyed by divine punishment and buried beneath the sands, Iram has been compared to Atlantis as a symbol of hubris and downfall. Modern discoveries, including the site of Ubar in Oman, suggest a historical basis for the legend. Whether myth, memory, or reality, Iram endures as both a cautionary tale and a beacon for explorers.
