Medieval Middle Eastern City
Developed for a university level course on daily life in the Islamic Middle Ages, this soundscape is meant to go with a slide show and discussion of urban life to give the sense of what it would sound like to walk through a city like Baghdad, Cairo, or Damascus around 1000 AD - including a market, animal noises, horse/donkeys passing by, public fountains, and the adhan (Islamic call to prayer) issuing from multiple mosques at the same time.
