... have the kind that don't get hot) and banks of water coolers with disposable cups. It is incredibly inviting. Coming closer to the Ka'ba itself in the open couryard at the center, you can begin to hear the chanting, tour groups that come for pilgrimmage from virtually all over who often have leaders that recite prayers that the group then says after them. It's almost like a song-in-the-round, or gregorian chant. And the dress of the people is so mixed, so ...

... 500 years ago. Everything in the house is original, nothing has been restored, it was amazing. Out the back they had a little market set-up to make you feel like you are really trawling through the souks of hundreds of years ago. After purchasing some amazingly cheap silver jewellery, the hosts ushered us into a room where we were served traditional Arabic coffee and dates. Now, I have tried Arabic coffee before and HATED it (for those wondering, NOTHING like normal coffee... kinda ...

... the colors were gorgeous, and although I had my camera and asked my husband if we couldn't try to surreptitiously take a quick snap he wasn't ready to take the risk. We bought some shrimp and headed for home. Unfortunately the shrimp smell remained in our car for the remainder of our trip, which is odd because that certainly wasn't the first time we've been to a fish market in that car and that hadn't happened before.<br><br>The rest of our ...

... I thought I was looking down on an entire galaxy with a myriad of stars swirling around the core.<br><br>Back in the hotel after being up for nearly 48 hours straight, I fell asleep and slept more soundly than I had in ages. Isa-Musa and I awoke to realize that we had left our passports, money, health cards, etc., on the dresser with no thought of using the safe in the closet. It never crossed our minds that someone might rip us off in this holy city.<br><br>With the Umrah ...

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!

Tempat tinggal, makan dan minum alhamdulillah baik dan lokasi pun betul-betul depan gate masjid. 7 hari di Madinah, kami bertolak ke Makkah. Lepas berhenti di miqat untuk buat niat (kami berazam dan berniat untuk buat Haji Qiran) rombongan kami menuju ke Aziziyah, bandar kecik di antara Mina dan Makkah. Saya dan anak-anak berkongsi bilik dengan satu keluarga pakistani yang jugak turut bawak anak-anak ...
