Hello hello and Happy Hijrī New Year! The Islamic New Year occurs during the first month of the Hijrī or Muslim lunar calendar. It commemorates a significant event: the migration of the Prophet Muhammad and his followers from Mecca, his birthplace in Saudi Arabia, to Medina in the summer of 622 C.E. You can find out more about this event, and more, in our guide to Saudi Arabia. But what you may not know, is that I used to live there, back when I was a girl. It was in Riyadh, the capital, rather than Medina but it still left me with memories of desert sands and incense. However you feel about the occasion, we hope it's a day of peace 💙 Cheers, Abi New & Upcoming Titles D-Day Landings Orkney Romania - Transylvania The Faroe Islands Taking the Risk Latvia Yorkshire Dales Luxembourg Hokkaido Sussex PRE-ORDER: In the Footsteps of Smugglers PRE-ORDER: Liguria PRE-ORDER: Greenland Tools, Talks & Upcoming Events To find out more about our plans for our 50th anniversary, head to our hub page and be the first to hear about our upcoming events, read our exclusive content and participate in the festivities!
