Life on The Arabian Gulf

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Just before The Queen visited the Gulf States in February Teresa McGonagle and Anne Howells of Woman's Hour paid a visit to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi to make recordings with the people who live there; with the Arabs themselves; and with Britons who are there to work.
The programme reflects not only the way in which the vast oil wealth is being used to create modern tax-free welfare states, but also some of the problems, in particular the dilemmas facing the women of these countries as they emerge from a life of segregation to play their part in the wider society.
Presented and produced by ANNE HOWELLS and TERESA MCGONAGLE
