If it’s your first visit to “Al Haram” or even your 11th visit, you’ll always long for it. I still remember my first visit, I can’t put it in words but certainly my body reacted with goosebumps- experiencing more than my body can hold from elevated emotions. Witnessing people gathered from all around the world especially whom their mother tongue isn’t Arabic saying prayers and their families repeating them during “tawaf,” was definitely a scene that found it’s way to my heart. ✨


Rawdah min riyad al-Jannah, I am positive you have heard of it before and it’s true. I have been trying several times to visit it and finally it happened. It was very peaceful and calming, really there aren’t enough words that can describe the feeling. I am just really grateful for I had this experience and I wish for you the same.
Al-Masjid an-Nabawi is one of the largest mosques in the world, It has 43 gates and one of the notable features of the site is the Green Dome where you can see part of it from the Rawdah as well.
At the end, this trip for me is soul enriching and I long for it. I hope you have your own visit soon as well.
