What's Suhail?
Suhail is one of the most important stars for the people of the Arabian Peninsula, according to Abouazza Elmhamdi, an associate professor on astrophysics at King Saud University in Riyadh. He said that the sighting of Suhail, whose luminosity is over 10,000 times that of the sun, is associated with a noticeable drop in temperatures after a long period of searing heat. The star became visible on Aug. 24 in the center of Saudi Arabia. The Suhail season lasts for 52 days, with the weather becoming pleasant at night while remaining hot during the early part of the day. By the end of the season, daytime temperatures become more comfortable.
Al-Meger Palace
Nestled in Asir’s Al-Namas governorate, Al-Meger Palace — a museum that is home to some of the oldest manuscripts from Islamic history — is the work of a lifetime of Mohammed Al-Meger, a former Saudi military officer whose parents were known intellectuals. Orphaned at an early age, he attended school for three years before he was expelled. He then worked as a shepherd until an uncle from Tabuk agreed to help him go back to school when he was 14. Unable to fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor, he opted to join Saudi Arabia’s armed forces, which gave him the chance to learn the French and English languages, and the opportunity to travel. When he visited his hometown of Al-Namas once more, he came up with the idea of building the palace. It took 35 years to complete the project, which is now considered a "convergence of world cultures."
