My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

2022 15th Umrah Trip - Taif Day Trip

“Don’t be afraid to fail. It’s not the end of the world, and in many ways, it’s the first step toward learning something and getting better at it...” - Jon Hamm

Today we had a day tour to Taif. Taif is about 90 km from Makkah. The journey by bus took us about more than an hour via Makkah Al-Taeef Route15 Highway. The weather was sunny and the sky was clear blue. We arrived Taif early. Our first visit was Abdullah Ibni Abbas Mosque for Dhuha prayers.

Next visit was to the historical As-Shareef Museum, located in southern Taif. The museum features various artifacts and a marketplace to showcase Taif’s traditional craftsmanship.
