It was in the summer too, very similar with your experience - since it's the summer holidays, people came in huge crowds to Mecca and Medina. I remembered once the temperature was 44 degrees C, but I'm not sure if it went higher then. I'm hoping to go visiting there in the future again rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603208333839568053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24333169.post-14517050656185816462011-07-01T18:33:29.410-04:002011-07-01T18:33:29.410-04:00MashaAllah!

When I went for haj in 2004, we were not allowed to take pictures at most places, so that's another reason I want to go back inshaAllah :)<br />Back then, haj was in winter, so I hope I can do an umrah trip in cooler weather also iAwashihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04655996134568994216noreply@blogger.com
