Makkah to Madinah: A Photographic Journey of the Hijrah Route

The Hijrah, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ's journey from Makkah to Madinah, is one of the best-known events of his life. The road he took is far less known. Dr. Abdullah Al-Kadi spent years finding that route on the ground. He made dozens of field expeditions, covered much of the way on foot, recorded GPS coordinates and distances, studied maps from the eighteenth century onward and spoke with people who live along the way.

This book is the result. It traces the Hijrah route landmark by landmark, with photographs by the British photographer Peter Sanders, who joined parts of the journey. The text is in Arabic and English, and the book is printed with metallic inks and hand-drawn maps.
