Umrah trip May 1-12, 2006 - An unforgettable trip!
If any young Muslims were to hesitate on going to the Holy land for the mini-pilgrimage that is the umrah, I would strongly urge them to think again. The trip renews you and grounds you to your core; and reminds you on what's important in life and what's not. Plus, it's really not as hot as I thought it would be - maybe that extra bonus in faith gives you that added energy to withstand anything!
Anyway, we had a blast, all 12 of us - including Along's kids. Marsya and Zareef loved it there, especially the air zam-zam, which somehow tastes so good, especially in Masjidil Nabawi and Masjidil Haram.
