... all the different languages and chants, the sense of being part of a global community.<br><br>Once you finish the Sa'y you have basically finished Umrah, so after filling up on some cool water we left the masjid. By now it was closing on 10 am. We walked around a bit at the shops that are left, and my hubby and fil stopped in a barbershop to get a haircut (the final rite of pilgrimmage). We took a taxi back to where we had left our car and headed back for Jeddah.

... the side of the road for some beautiful fresh fruit - Taif is well known for this - tried a 'desert pear' (delicious thing that grows on a cactus-like plant, full of seeds, but with a mango-like texture almost... Delicious! We then continued along the road, stopping again for a camel ride! These beautiful animals were decorated in headdresss, and roses (what Taif is most well known for in the springtime.) Finally, we checked out of the hotel, and headed out to a lovely restaurant for ...

... 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.

... to rest. <br><br>We did stop at a rest area for the sunset prayers, which gave a nice break. We stopped at one of the larger chains -- Sapco. So there's a gas station, small playground, a mosque, a grocery store, a restaurant, and often small shops selling cassette tapes of religious lectures and music or small gift items and outdoor paraphenalia (like flower pots, water coolers, these funky riding toys for kids in the shape of birds ...

... such a different land. This coupled with the fact that credit cards and traveler's checks are not accepted in Arabia, and that the currency exchange was closed, conspired to knot my stomach very badly. I had been studying Arabic with the Pimsleur language discs for a few months, so I could make myself understood at least. This was good since the prefered language in Saudi is not English, even though it is on many signs and billboards.<br><br>The ride to Mecca, via the ...

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 ...

... kali seminggu. Saya pantau pemakanan dan kesihatan mereka. Saya mula mengajar hukum hakam berkaitan dengan urusan umrah/haji dan mengingatkan mereka supaya sentiasa berdoa agar Allah memberi yang terbaik untuk kami, diterima ibadah kami dan kesihatan yang sempurna sepanjang kami disana.
