Beautiful Holy Lands of Mecca and Medina

It’s been a week plus since I came back from the two Holy Lands of Mecca and Medina. The experiences there are beyond words. I do not know how to explain it but it’s totally different to all the other places that I’ve been to and totally incomparable to the other places. A definitely must go places for all Muslims.  In this post, I won’t go into the detail of what I did there like my usual travel post, but more to some tips and tricks that might be useful if you’re planning to perform your umrah. Whatever are written here are solely based on my experience during my time at the holy lands hence it may be different when you reach there and the time that you were there.  Before I proceed further, I will explain briefly what is umrah and what we Muslims do during umrah. There are 4 things that you need to do to complete an umrah cycle and they are: 1. Niat (Intention)– You need to be in the state of ihram before entering the holy land and you usually niat at the miqat stations.
