Iconic Middle East; Princess Fawzia of Egypt

When I was little I came across an image of Princess Fawzia in a book and decided I wanted to look like her when I grow up. Of course that never happened but her image was forever imprinted in my brain as how a princess ought to look.

She is an international style Icon of her time. Described by Cecil Beaton as an 'Asian Venus'.

Where is this?

Can you imagine these images are of Saudi Arabia?. There are some beautiful places to explore here in mysterious Arabia. Have a look at photographer Awadh Al-Hamzani's website for more amazing images of his. http://hamzani.com/
