Ajyad Makkah Mecca

... him and my father-in-law that I would meet them at a designated spot later.<br><br>The area around the Haram itself is under what seems like constant construction. The Masjid itself is being expanded (upwards -- there are now three levels), and also the area surrounding is being reconfigured to have more hotels. I can remember the shock the first time I came when they started this new initiative, it was like someone had completely wiped clean the hillside of the ...

... get photos around the TV crews was fun! A few of the guys (girls not allowed :p) were asked to get up and join in, which was fun and rather amusing at the same time :p One of our guys even got interviewed at the end of it! We also watched some re-enactments of traditional souk battles, recitations of Arabic poetry, and watched the Arabian horses and camels parade around. We had a chance to hold a falcon, and then had the opportunity to shop around the souk, or just watch the people ...

The bulk of our trip we spent with my in-laws in Jeddah -- 3+ weeks. We started by trying to get as much shopping done as possible, saving short day trips for later. Jeddah as a city has become so crowded over the years, traffic is terrible. However finally the government appears to be doing something about it by building a series of flyovers and bridges to try and lessen the strain on the busiest streets. This won't help that actual terrible ...

... Thankfully my kids were all sleeping so I didn't have to refuse to let them go on the playground, the equipment in which is usually half broken down or scalding hot. Metal playground equipment may not be the ideal choice for a country with this climate.<br><br>After sunset we headed out again, and into the sandstorms. It was dark, but we could feel the car being buffeted and hear the gritty blasts of wind as it blew sand all around the car.

Back to Queen Alia airport for the short flight to Jeddah, I should have figures something was amiss when the departure was late at night.<br><br>I should have been clued into the fact that the journey to Mecca would be hard in as much as the flight from Amman, Jordan to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia did not leave until 10:00 at night. Half way thru the pilot announced we would be passing into Haram territory in 5 minutes. This meant that I had that much time to change into my ...

Amazing to be here! This is the first and original mosque to have ever been built. We believe it to have been ordered of Abraham to be built at this location by God. This is the culmination of a lot of anticipation in every Muslim´s life!

... are a newly wed at that time (we were married on April 2006, and this voyage start on June 2006), because if either me or my husband getting romantic it could undo our niyat, and we have to go back to Bir Ali to do the preparation all over again. The journey was as exciting as it was exhausting.

Kami mengambil keputusan untuk menunaikan fardhu haji setelah mengambil kira kemampuan anak-anak yang kecil untuk 'berjuang' bersama jutaan jemaah yang lain di Tanah Suci nanti. Hati lebih lapang kerana bulan haji pada tahun tersebut jatuh pada bulan-bulan yang 'sejuk' jadi sikit sebanyak dengan izin Allah ianya membantu urusan kami kelak. 3 bulan sebelum kami bertolak, saya bawa anak-anak (pada usia 9 dan hampir 6 ketika itu) berjalan sekurang-kurangnya 5 km sehari untuk ...

... cuma birunya laut n setitik hitam ditengah2nya, mungkin kapal yang besar hanya saja karena dari kejauhan terlihat sangat kecil. Aq jadi berpikir, bagaimana Tuhan mengatur alam semesta ini ya? ratusan juta orang Dia ciptakan! Bila sangat besar alam ini dia ciptakan, dan Dia menganggap kecil, sebesar apa Dia? Sungguh benar2 Maha Besar, pastinya! Selama perjalanan, naluri buang hajat tak tertahankan. Toilet ...
