MADINAH
July 14, 2021 – July 18, 2021
Home is where the heart is and Madinah is where you left it
Both those who have been and those who long to, all have a deep and endearing love for this blessed city, all because of the stories of sacrifice and struggle of the Prophet and his companions.
MAKKAH
July 18, 2021 – July 23, 2021
A reward no less than Paradise itself!
Huge masses of people, all travelling fervently in the same direction, from Mina to the plains of Arafat, for that big day, that moment that everything was building up to… the day of Hajj!
Manasik of Hajj
July 18, 2021 – July 22, 2021
The charm and vibrant colours of the Ummah converge here
Gaze in amazement at the beautiful diversity of Muslims from all around the world, each group with its own unique style and grace, but unified with one aim, to complete the Sacred Hajj.
Jeddah
A late-night stroll by the sea or a midday luxury shopping spree
Depending on your flight schedule, you may be able to enjoy a stay in Jeddah, relax by the Red Sea with views of the world’s tallest water fountain, visit the historic city of Al-Balad or shop until your drop in one of its many impressive malls.
I’m deeply thankful for all your kindness in assisting and guiding through this journey. May Allah bless you and all your loved ones with the best in this world and the next Ameen JAK.
