This issue is packed with diverse and enriching content that speaks to a wide range of interests, whether you’re an adventurous traveller, a cultural enthusiast, or someone seeking to enhance your well-being.
In the Travel section, we invite you to discover 11 Winter Sun Destinations (p. 12), each offering a unique escape from the cold, along with the magic of Japan’s urban marvels (p. 12). Whether you’re longing for a beach retreat or the energy of bustling city streets, these destinations offer the perfect setting for a winter getaway. We also delve deeper into the rich history of Jumada-al-Awwal (p. 26), a significant month in the Islamic calendar, shedding light on its cultural and spiritual importance. A special feature on Mishal Husain’s new book, Broken Threads (p. 38), offers a glimpse into her personal journey through storytelling, exploring the threads that bind us all.
One of my personal highlights this year has been a couple’s getaway to Seville (p. 20), a city that has captured my heart with its charming streets, rich history, and vibrant atmosphere. Seville is a destination made for those who love to explore on foot, with its labyrinthine alleys, sun-drenched squares, and exquisite architecture. Just a short day trip away, we found the enchanting city of Cordoba, where history and beauty merge in stunning ways.
For those who are focused on self-care and wellness, we’ve packed the Beauty & Health section with practical advice to elevate your daily routine.
