My journey this time was completely different from my previous journey. I was in Madinah for 2 days before heading to Makkah for pilgrimage (umrah). I could feel the heat as I stepped out from the plane at the Jeddah airport. It reminds me of Malaysia’s weather.

To be honest, my brain is not working at the moment. I tried to squeeze so that I could write more but unfortunately, it didn’t work. So, the only way to tell you a bit of my story in Madinah is by showing you a few photos taken while I was there. One thing for sure, I was amazed when I saw Masjid Nabawi (Mosque of the prophet Muhammad S.A.W) for the first time. Never had in my thought even a second I would be here standing in front of it and see it for myself. I wish I could get better angle of Masjid Nabawi but didn’t have enough time to discover the place.

This shot was taken from the window of my hotel’s room on the 9th floor if not mistaken. It was early in the morning and I was ready to go for breakfast. Less busy in the morning but it gets busier and noisier later on.

Masjid Nabawi, also known as the prophet Muhammad S.A.W mosque.

The shot of Iranian women above was taken spontaneously. I didn’t realize they were passing by until I turned around and quickly adjusted my lens to the widest focal length and snap.

A group of people were given instructions during their visit.

Fancy one?

Wearing blacks and fully covered is their main attire.

The rate of exchange was quite good when I was there. £1 equals to 7.2 Riyal if not mistaken.

I bet this man was indecisive which one to get for his wife.

Those are a few photos I captured while I was in Madinah. Hopefully you enjoyed your stay while reading and viewing photos. I shall return with a few more photos I captured in Makkah in the next entry. So, stay tuned.

Thanks very much for your stay. Cheers.
