“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, or worn. It is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace & gratitude...” - Denis Waitley

Day 08:
18 March 2017 - Saturday
Hilton Suites, Makkah
Today the group boarded the bus to Hudaibiah to miqat for our umrah. On the way we stopped at the Museum of the two holy cities but were not allowed to enter as we did not have a permit.

Hudaibiah is where the treaty between Makkah Quraisy and Muslim from Madinah took place which lead to the conquest of Makkah. Masjid Hudaibiah was erected at the place where Rasulullah offered prayers during his stay. This mosque is located about 20 km away from Makkah on the old road leading to Jeddah. The remains of the ancient mosque are located behind the existing mosque.

We completed the tawaf and sa’ei for our Umrah early and waited for Zohor prayers before we went back to our hotel to rest..
