23 RD SAUDI NEUROLOGY SOCIETY MEETING<br />
Welcome Message<br />
Dear Colleagues:<br />
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 23 rd Saudi Neurology Society Meeting (SNS) to be held in Le<br />
Meridien Hotel, Madinah Al Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia on 3-5 March 2016. After the great success of the last<br />
meeting in Jeddah last January 2015, we hope that you will all enjoy the highly scientific learning and social<br />
activities. In order to show our commitment and appreciation to the new comers in Neurology, the theme for this<br />
year’s meeting is:<br />
“The Future of Neurology in the Hands of Young Saudi Neurologists”<br />
Neurologists and Scientists from different parts of Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries will meet to exchange<br />
knowledge and experience about practice, education and academic endeavors for a brighter future. A Session is<br />
devoted to our colleagues from different parts of the Arab World. A number of ongoing research results will also<br />
be presented. Since the official establishment of the SNS three years ago, the current Board worked very hard to<br />
make the society one of the most active societies in the Kingdom. It is also noteworthy that the election of the<br />
next Board will be held after the first day of the meeting.<br />
We chose Madinah as it where Islam flourished and from this city – the light of Islam spread in vast areas of the<br />
world. Everyone who visits this great city experience the unique feeling of spiritual calmness, physical relaxation<br />
and a feeling of peace and serenity.<br />
The weather in Madinah is most fitting, pleasant and very convenient for those who would like to visit the Haram<br />
in Madinah and Makkah Mukarramah. The venue was chosen to accommodate a huge number of attendees.<br />
We wish that you all benefit from the scientific program and enjoy the social and professional gatherings.<br />
We look forward to welcome you all in Madinah Al Munarawah.<br />
Saeed A. Bohlega, MD, FRCPC, FAAN<br />
President, Saudi Neurology Society<br />

Madinah General Information<br />
Medina (/məˈdiːnə/; Arabic: المنورة ,المدينة al-Madīnah al-Munawwarah, "the radiant city"; or ,المدينة al-Madīnah,<br />
"the city"), also transliterated as Madīnah, is a city in the Hejaz, and the capital of the Al Madinah Region of Saudi<br />
Arabia. The city contains al-Masjid an-Nabawi ("the Prophet's Mosque"), which is the burial place of the Islamic<br />
Prophet Muhammad, and is the second-holiest city in Islam after Mecca.<br />
Medina was Muhammad's destination after his Hijrah from Mecca, and became the capital of a rapidly increasing<br />
Muslim Empire, first under Muhammad's leadership, and then under the first four Rashidun caliphs, Abu Bakr,<br />
Umar, Uthman, and Ali. It served as the power base of Islam in its first century where the early Muslim community<br />
developed. Medina is home to the three oldest mosques, namely the Quba Mosque, al-Masjid an-Nabawi, and<br />
Masjid al-Qiblatayn ("the mosque of the two qiblas"). Muslims believe that the chronologically final surahs of the<br />
Quran were revealed to Muhammad in Medina, and are called Medinan surahs in contrast to the earlier Meccan<br />
surahs.<br />
Similar to Mecca, non-Muslims are forbidden from entering the sacred core of Medina (but not the entire city) or<br />
the city center by the national government.<br />
