Re: anthologies on Islamic history

I own and have read one by Mufti Justice (Rtd.) Taqi Usmani:

Jahaan-e-Deedah - a travelouge comprising of his journey to 20 countries where not only he takes you back to the Islamic history but a detailed account of geography of the place he describes.

If you are just talking about any given travelouge by people who live in muslim world like in Pakistan, then, I have read Andulus maiN Ajnabi by Mustansar Hussain Tararr - *talks about his travel in Spain and how he connects the 800 years history of Muslim spain in Andulus, **Shoq-e-Aawaargi* by Ata-ul-Haq Qasmi *(owns it) - talks about his dream of coming to America in early 70's where he spent 2 years as a Ramada Inn Food manager in Saint Loius and while going back via New york, Paris, and then Holland, **Hi America, Bye America* by *a PTV drama artist I do not recall the name of *(owns it as well) - talks about his struggle days in New York for years and how he spent the time here and what type of different people he met...

and ofcourse bits and pieces of others from here and there..
