The text investigates the architectural significance of the fortified palace at Ukhaiḍir and its related structures, highlighting the influences and contributions from various earlier cultures and civilizations. This study not only focuses on the architecture itself but also delves into the historical context surrounding the development of these structures. The opening of the book provides a rich description of the site and surroundings of Ukhaiḍir, outlining its geographical features and the ruins found in the vicinity. Bell emphasizes the historical significance of Ukhaiḍir, noting that the palace was not well known until the early 20th century and had been largely neglected despite its grandeur. Through her exploration, she begins to quantify the architectural and cultural influences that shaped the mosque and palace designs during the early periods of Islamic civilization, suggesting that these structures served as a reflection of the evolving identity and artistic contributions of the Muslim builders against a backdrop of previous civilizations.
