"On the Hajj" Saudi Arabia by awladhassan

Saudi Arabia Travel Guide: 2,853 reviews and 6,594 photos

We all went on the Hajj with our father. he always told us to do it when we were young and fit, and now we know why. It is tough, with lots of walking, and often when suffering from a virus caught during the hajj.
Our flight landed in Medina where we did the umrah, and then we went by road to Mecca. thereafter we walked most of the way to the other places: Mina, Arafat, Muzdelifa and the Jamrat.
