		Continuing his conquests, Abdul Aziz subdued Al-Ahsa, Al-Qatif, the rest of Nejd, and the Hijaz between 1913 and 1926.
		On 8 January 1926 Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud became the King of Hijaz.
		Some are of mixed ethnic origin and are descended from Turks, Iranians, Malays, and others, most of whom immigrated as pilgrims and reside in the Hijaz region along the Red Sea coast.

		Thus the Hijaz Railway became probably the first in history to be paid for before selling its first ticket, the first to start life with a cash surplus, and undoubtedly the first to be operated by a waqf—a self-perpetuating, nonprofit religious endowment for the administration of property according to Muslim law..
		Work on the Hijaz Railway began in May, 1900, with a route survey by the Turkish engineer Hadschtar Muchtar Bey, in what today would seem an incredibly offhand manner: he simply tagged along behind a Medina-bound pilgrim caravan, taking his sightings and jotting down his observations as he jogged along on camelback.
		Although the Hijaz Railway had originally been planned to extend all the way to Mecca, Medina was destined to be its southern terminus.

		The Hijaz, a barren land comprising the coastal plain and mountain range of north-west Arabia, presents a forbidding face to the world: drifting sands, eroded wadis, and grim ancient lava flows picked clean by time.
		The Hijaz is a coastal region located on the western shores along the Red Sea and also includes the Hijaz mountains that relieved by much vegetation.
		The Hijaz was ruled for many centuries by the Sharifs of Makkah, members of a remarkable family which claimed descent from the Prophet Muhammad himself.

	Nabataea: The Hijaz Railway Book Review
		The railways and roads of the Ottoman Empire were mostly constructed by Europeans, but he Hijaz Railway was financed, constructed and operated by the Turks themselves.
		It was an effort to contain European imperialism, and the Turks had to expand their areas of conscription and taxation into areas that were formerly autonomous.
		The Internal History of the Hijaz Railroad can be used as a way of measuring three major issues: The Ottoman Empire's ability to construct and finance a modern enterprise, the efficiency with which the empire could operate such a railroad, and the independence of the empire from Europe in personnel, finance, and material.

	The Cradle of Islam
		Her new book Cradle of Islam: The Hijaz and the Quest for an Arabian Identity (I.B. Tauris, London) is the story of a subtle resistance that has developed to the oppressive uniformity that the House of Saud seeks to impose on the country.
		The sophisticated elites of the Hijaz, with their schools and libraries and foreign embassies and their Sufi-influenced Islam, looked down on the illiterate nomads of the Najd, the heartland that was home to the al Saud family.
		Yamani gradually unfolds an elaborate code of behavior relating to food and dress, speech and decorum, festivity and mourning that is distinctive to the leading families of the Hijaz, and whose exact observance influences social standing.

		The Hijaz at this time was under the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire, and more or less contemporaneousIy with the operation of the Egyptian post office the Turks began to extend their postal system into the Hijaz and southward into Yemen.
		Most of the Ottoman post offices in the Hijaz closed in 1916 when the Sharif Husayn, with British backing, declared himself King of the Hijaz, but Turkish forces held out in Medina until January 1919, and the Turkish post office in that city was the last to close.
		As the Saudis moved into the Hijaz in 1924 and 1925 and took over the existing postal system, however, there was a need for new stamps to represent the new status quo.

		On economic and financial relations between Egypt and the Hijaz, Fouad El-Mawi provides extensive detail concerning the financial commitments of the Egyptian government to the Hijaz during the Ottoman era.
		Sending the mahmal in the season of the hajj alone was a source of considerable expense, entailing the costs of protecting the caravan, which required a force ranging from 500 men during times of relative tranquillity to more than 2,000 in less settled years.
		The Egyptian authorities wired their approval for this change of course and the authorities in the Hijaz encouraged it, undoubtedly eager to rid themselves of the responsibility of protecting the caravan from the dangers that lurked along the over 10-day overland route from Mecca to Yanbu.

	My Approach to the Music of Americanistan by Frederique Al Bayyati
		The most important note in a tetrachord is the first one, in this case, D. You can pile another Hijaz on top of this one: transposed, it would be A Bb C# D. So now you have a (Hijaz, Hijaz) scale, the really beautiful sounding Hijaz Ghariib Maqam.
		While we’re there, let’s play the higher Hijaz tetrachord: A A A Bb C# d C# Bb Bb A A. Now descend G F# Eb D D D D. Now play D C# D (the tonic and its leading tone).
		Think of a Hijaz tetrachord as 1 2b 3# 4 5, where 1 can be any of several possible starting notes.
