Towards Makkah


When I was 20 years old I got my first travel out of country which was travel to Makkah. I learn too many things during my first tour with my family. Although I have no idea about preparation for umrah travel but my father already done umrah before it the things which we included in our preparation are,
1-Complete information
2-Umrah classes
4-Luggage
5-Quran (mini size)
6-Books of Hadith and Dua
7-Machine for check blood pressure (my father have b.p)
8-List of food we have to take (suitable for health)
9-Check list of all things
Ihram

After preparing all of these things we starts our journey from Lahore air port before all preparation my father already booked cheap umrah packages for whole family which gives special discount for groups. Before or plane entered in territory of Meeqat every one dressed their Ihram because it is compulsory to wear Ihram before you enter into Meeqat no matter you are in the plane. Our plane lands in Jeddah airport from where buss drops us near our hotel.
In my first journey I noticed that my father is totally changed before our journey, he care me every time he use to ask me for anything needed, during travel I notice that my father talking less and busy with his worship all people gets the importance of time all of plane's passengers want to utilize their maximum time on worship and they are very helpful to each other, I realized that if they become just like that in ordinary routine our life become blessing. The other lesson I got during my travel is life is just like journey it gives comfort for your destination how much you prepare and if you keep your things short you will manage your journey good and by cutting down necessities your will live in peace.
Hira Cave

After performing umrah we have several visits in Makkah's ziarat and historical places i wanted to spend more time in Makkah museum but my father want to visit Hira Cave as soon as possible so we left museum and move towards Cave Hira. After visiting many places we get back to our rooms but my father want to stay in Masjid-Haram for worship alone so we stay in our rooms. 
That was my memorable journey of life so i think to share it with you hopefully you can ignore my mistakes before i am not a good writer. Hope fully I will post with batter ideas and wording to make you understand about umrah travel.
