    Finding solace and peace through prayers
    The best place to find inner peace through prayers. The fact that you are praying with different race or people from all corners of the world makes you feel on the majestic power of The Almighty. The holiest place in Islam. The Qibla of all Muslim Masjid in the world.

    Heart stopping experience
    Awesome experience ... just came back from Makkah. I went to Makkah after 17 years and it was totally changed, new extensions open, ongoing work, new facilities for the ease of pilgrims. More Hotel towers around for accommodation.

    The place really amazing, full with people with different race, colors and background. The weather was cold as its was a cold season. The downside they constantly close all the road or main access and really difficult for people to go for prayers not to mention people who use wheelchair.

    Best place in the whole world
    This was my first visit to Mecca from Dubai in December 2022. December is a right time to travel if you are travelling with a young kids and older people. My advise is to book a hotel in advance so you can find the better and cheapest option of the hotel This was our by road trip and ALLAHUMDULILAH went really and people in Haram are helpful but don't expect the same hotel services like Dubai. Planning to visit them soon inshALLAH.

I have never seen Haram so crowded except during Haj. You have to walk through passageways to reach Kaaba, and many parts are blocked with plywood on the first and second floors.

We went for our Umrah in January 2023 and stayed for a month including 10 days at Masjid al-Nabawi in Madinah. As with most people, it was a blessed experience.

When we were there, we noticed how well organized were the workers in keeping the tawaf and praying area clean, making sure the zam zam water containers were refilled, and keeping the Quran and prayer chairs organized in the respective shelves and racks, etc.

We were disappointed when the security guards re-routed us to another praying area/floor level, but we realized later that it was done to reduce congestion.

When we got back home, we came across this article about how they managed Masjid al-Haram, keeping it clean, and safe for all pilgrims and visitors.

By reading this article in advance of your trip, you will appreciate and have a better experience when you are there. We should have done this ourselves but only found the article after we got home. I can't put the full link to the article here, so you have to replace (dot) with an actual dot

NOTE: This is not a promotional link. It is for you to read before you go as I strongly believe that it is a good advance reading. It will help visitors to the Great Mosque of Mecca or as I like to call it, Masjid al-Haram, to fully appreciate the facilities provided to make your Umrah or Hajj or your visites, meaningful.
