Our Umrah Trip - In Photos



We started our journey by going from Dammam airport to Jeddah airport. Dammam airport, I like!






We took the Sama airline plane and landed at Jeddah airport. Before landing, the plane flew below the clouds and we had an air-tour of Jeddah from above. It was magical.






We went on a rented car till Makkah where we found a room on the 11th floor but thankfully quite near to Haram. What a view!






So we stayed here for about a day and a half. Going back and forth to Haram was simple and quick. Although the weather was really hot, as soon as you step on the white marble of Haram, it's unbelievably cool.





On the way we'd meet lots of pigeons. They've made homes in those windows up there.







The following buildings are right outside of Haram. Making it easy to find spots for lunch-ing.







and dessert-ing ;)
Then, we left for Madina.


And we found a nice hotel with good rooms, very near to Haram.









Look what we found at the back of the hotel.




We went to see Masjid-e-Quba also. Which is the first masjid of Islam.








And we flew from Madina to Dammam by Saudi Airlines. No one told me that it's a shorter flight. Which is why I got scared as the plane got lower and lower. =P




And here we are, back to dusty Jubail.


Time for doughnuts before we leave for home. :)
