Let's continue my last-minute umrah adventure.
We arrived at Mekah around 8pm and straight away checked-in at Hotel Umm Qurra. Have a quick rest and then went to Masjidil Haram for tawaf, said and bercukur. MashaAllah, the Kaabah is so beautiful, just a bit crowded as someone told me that it was school holiday season in United Saudi Arabia. Most of parents bring along their kids here for umrah. Plus, praying area is quite limited as there is massive construction in Masjidil Haram. Can you see the hanging tawaf area in the picture? That is the temporary place for pilgrims using wheelchairs.

Our team lead arranged few trip around Mekah-visiting places where pilgrims perform Hajj. Since we been here before and the places haven't change that much, ayah decided not to join any of the trip. He prefer to spend as much time as he could in Masjidil Haram since we only stayed in Mekah for four days before return back to Malaysia. I only join the first trip to Jabal Rahmah because i wanted to pray for jodoh. hihi.

During Hajj, there is a moment where all Muslim will be staying at Arafah for a least one night. We visited Malaysian staying area in Arafah. There is a huge signboard showing all the facilities provided in Arafah.

View of Kaabah and tawaf area after Subuh prayer. Did you see the crane? InsyaAllah they targeted to complete this project by 2020. I been told that they will extend the mosque for 500m radius.
Alhamdullilah we safely arrived Kuala Lumpur the next day morning. And be back in office on the following day.
Till then, wsalam~
