:: Journeys in the Muslim World ::

Assalam Alaikum,

Just wanting to share this website which showcases many of the photographs taken by Alexandra Avakian in her journeys in the Muslim world.


Photojournalist Alexandra Avakian has covered many of the most important issues of her time, with subjects ranging from Haiti to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the former Soviet Union, from the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to war and famine in Africa, and much more.

Her photographs have been published in TIME, LIFE, The New York Times Magazine,National Geographic, and many more throughout the U.S. and Europe.

Recounted in gripping words and unforgettable images, Avakian’s remarkable experiences will draw readers into the Muslim world to meet friends and rebels, leaders and thieves and everyday people. 

Her style is always probing, yet compassionate. 

Given the interest in Muslim culture since the events of 9/11, Avakian’s fascinating photographs and rich personal story will captivate, educate, and linger with us forever.

Foreword by John M. Fahey Jr., President and CEO of the National Geographic Society.

W'salam,
Khadijah C.
