Mecca & Medina : A Review

what i like most: 
- when it's time to pray, people from all walk of life hurried to pray... including the Saudi Binladin workers involved in the construction/renovation of Masjidil Haram... they dont disturb the public, instead, they form their own group outside the mosque or at the end of the saie area(level 1)

- i meet lots of nice & kind people - auntie (s) from Malaysia, India, Indonesia & Arab women ( they were generous but those people in my previous post, they were special because they did it exclusively for me... i mean, it's common for Arab women to distribute dates/sweets/ anything else, but if it's just for that one particular person, i feel appreciated...) maybe it's true that only nice people will have intention to go there...

 - the owners of the shops simply left their goods unguarded when it's time to pray... i witnessed that in Medina...


what i hate: 
-it's not safe for women to walk alone... tak berani wandering alone, so i wont go anywhere outside the Masjidil Haram boundary or my hotel boundary if i'm alone... let's say i was in Malaysia or Singapore, i will probably 'tawaf' nearest shopping complex without hesitation.. if it wasnt for withdrawing money, i wont go to Abraj al Bait (the grand Clock Tower)




- the syndicate to 'kucup Hajarul Aswad' were annoying! let's say, during umrah, somebody approached you & you turn to see them to answer, that round (pusingan)isnt valid (berpusing sehingga tidak mengkirikan kaabah)...

- Masjid Hudaibiah is dirty... if the Saudi Arabia government can allocate money to build a lavish city like Jeddah, why dont they allocate some to renovate Masjid Hudaibiah? it's one of the miqat too!
