Huda Kareem Hotel Mecca

... talk, but pleasant nonetheless. People are always pleasantly surprised to meet an American Muslim who speaks Arabic. After the seven circuits, or tawaf, we headed over to perform the sa'y, or the "running" between the two hills of Safa and Marwa. My companions wanted to do this on the second level, but after going up there and finding it virtually empty I left them to it and returned downstairs to the crowds. For me, I like being with the groups of people ...

... 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 ...

... are the open areas around it where you see people living in cardboard huts sifting through the refuse people throw away for whatever they can sell and/or use. <br><br>We had earmarked the latter part of our stay for trips, but there was an unexpected death in the family and complications with my in-laws housing which grounded us for the remainder of our trip --I wasn't even able to visit the old part of Jeddah, which has some amazing architecture.

... 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.

... pita bread on neary every corner, though how anyone could stand near a roaring gas burner when it was 120 F in the shade, anyway, is beyond me. After all, it was Mecca in June; not entirely unlike the Las Vegas strip I once visited at midnight in July!<br><br>When it came time to depart for Medina it turned out that there were no flights because of pending dust storms. Our tour company arranged for an Egyptian driver who was the most friendly and talkative guy that we ...

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!

We arrived in Mecca at almost midnight, probably around 11 pm. The journey from Medina to Mecca is almost as long as the journey from Jeddah to Medina, cause Mecca is not that far from Jeddah. All through the journey to Mecca, my mum constantly remind me not to get too close to my husband, altough ...

... budak-budak kat bilik lain lah ;-) ) . Budak-budak kecik walau lain bangsa tapi bila sama2 berkongsi pengalaman besar macam ni, dorang memang click cepat. Paling saya kagum bila dorang dok bincang2 pasal perbezaan mazhab (kami syafi'iyyah dan dorang hanafiyyah) dan cuba banding2 apa yang sama dan apa yang berbeza dlm ibadat harian.

Budaya barat, khususnya dalam permasalahan toilet, masih belum menjadi budaya dan sebagian besar masyarakat Indonesia belum terbiasa atau belum kenal dengan model seperti itu. Sesampai di tempat tujuan...WAUW!! beda banget ma negeri sendiri. Meski tempatnya terkenal dengan gurun pasir, tapi penataan dan penghijauan mereka benar2 di atur. Rapi, bersih, n terasa jembar.
