Ameen Rihani Organization - Rihani's Homes in Lebanon

"The real contribution of Rihani consists in having given us, in both Arabic and English, what may be considered the most vivid and interesting account of common-day life as it is lived at present in the hitherto little known Arabia."

Philip K. Hitti, 1931
