This was my Grandfather's. It's quite light.
He lived and worked all his life in England though he did have to travel for his work in the 50s, but I think it was normally around Europe rather than Arabic countries.
Apparently, my Grandfather did have a Quran though he was not a Muslim nor overtly religious.
