I'm here with my parents. We just finished Umrah and will be leaving to start the Hajj manasik soon.
Some early observations:
- Haram has been completely transformed into a commercialized center. Lots of shopping to be done as soon as you step out of mosque.
- The mall shuts down completely during prayers and the entire place is taken up by people.
- First time you see Kaaba, you stand their just speechless and in awe.
- You have to do major dunga mushti to do tawaff. a lot of pushing and pulling.
- We met lots of Pakistanis already. More are arriving by the day.
- We saw the place where the crane crashed. Very unfortunate. There are around 100 more cranes in the area, very dangerous.
Here are a couple of pictures, we leave for Mena soon.
I have more in a different phone which I'll upload soon.
Ask away if you have any questions.
