Our stay in Madinah was shorthened by one day due to slight problem with the hotel arrangement. After spending two nights in Madinah, we visited the prophet SAW and spent few minutes at the raudhah on the third day morning. In the afternoon, we were ready to leave Madinah in ihram attire.
The journey from Madinah to Makkah took about 6 hours with a short stop at Bir Ali mosque for performing ihram. There wasn't much to see along the route. Only desserts and barren hills, giving us the chance to closely imagine and contemplate the journey that our beloved prophet and his loyal companion, Abu Bakr, went through during the their migration to Madinah. Achik slept during most of the journey, which was to my great relief.
Arriving at the Nada Deafah hotel in Makkah, we had our late dinner and and then getting prepared for our first umrah. It was about midnight when we eventually entered Masjidil haram. Along and Angah were already exhausted from the long journey and were dragging their feet to complete their saie.
