Type: article
Abstract: Al-Andalus is distinguished by its enchanting and breathtaking natural beauty. Al-Andalus is Levantine in its pleasant climate and air, Yemeni in its moderation and balance, Indian in its fragrance and delicacy, Ahwazi in its great revenues, Chinese in its rich mineral resources, and Adeni in the benefits of its coasts. Poets have praised it, depicting it in the finest descriptions, considering it one of the most flourishing lands. Al-Andalus belongs to the Levantine region, which is one of the best and most moderate regions. Its air and soil are the purest, its water the sweetest, its air, animals, and plants the most pleasant. It is the central region, and the best things are always in the middle.
