Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
The Red Sea Museum catalogue embarks the reader on a cross-cultural journey along the Red Sea, exploring its dazzling beauty and rich diversity through time, stories, and coastline cities.
The catalogue is inspired by the unique collection of the Red Sea Museumestablished by Saudi Arabias Ministry of Culture in Jeddah, the city thatserved as the Red Seas main port and whose identity was shaped by it. Themuseum is housed in the iconic Bab Al-Bunt heritage building, which used tobe Jeddahs customs house until the 1950s and has historically symbolized ajunction point between dwellers of the Red Sea coast and the world, as Jeddahwas a major gateway for pilgrims, merchants, explorers, and global travelers forcenturies. Through a rare collection of manuscripts, photographs, maps, andancient and contemporary artifacts and artworks, the Red Sea Museum andits catalogue recount the stories of the Red Sea and the paths of its dwellers.The richly illustrated volume echoes the museums structure and the exceptionaldiversity of its collections through four sections: Living Sea uncoversthe blooming biodiversity of the Red Sea; Sea of Civilizations looks at therole played by the Red Sea as a crossroads between East and West connectingvarious civilizations and geographies through trade, travel, and navigation; Seaof Faith allows the readers to travel through time to experience the journeysof the millions of pilgrims who came from all parts of the Islamic world andturned Jeddah into the Gateway to Mecca; Sea of Inspiration highlights thevision of modern and contemporary artists and writers on the Red Sea.
