So we started from Dubai to Makkah, started evening Wed and plan to reach Thursday evening
Which will cover aprox 1900 Km - Distance
The trip was arranged by KMCC Deira, including the visa process - that was really easy.
Bus started little late after arranging all luggage to seat, the Leader (Usthad) was really good and explaining well about the travel, distance, issues might occur...etc.. bus gone through dubai...then Abu Dhabi.....But kids were busy making friends....
Some people were started with Duaas (prayers).... like a group dikr, duaa etc...
Some were first time in such trip and there were few who went more 2 times.... people were very helpful each other.... explain things and supporting
Reached in border night time, UAE side was pretty smooth and quick but in Saudi was little more 'Q'
I thought "god, i think the stories i used to hear is 100% true" bus stop and we saw security people were checking each luggage and kind of manual check - by using Dogs and some small metal detector. But all was quick including the passport stamps...we went to any office instead on officer came to us inside the bus with all our passport - - - - it was good, better than the stories. And he ask ''All malabaris"....the Yallah....go"
Later i heard...security check is different level based on the crowd, because of crime histories --- anyway
i am Malabari, its not a race it just refers to a region with out a specific boundary. before Indian independence (1947) a larger area of south India was called Malabar. but later Malabar was divided among 2 states of India , Kerala and Tamil Nadu. now the northern Kerala is only called as Malabar
it has got a strong presence of communists, population is like 18 million mainly Hindus and Muslims...
Good presence in gulf region from historical days through trading
We started again from there....there were breaks for food and other things....you can imagine what kinds of facilities on this kind of highway roads will be available, but no complaints from any one as everyone was totally in different level, my kids were so adjusted - thanks to my good kids :) , we were running fast in all stops to complete all the requirements with given time by our Syrian driver....he was so nice and supportive
Was night while we reached in Makkah.....we stopped for Ihram....it was a masjid on the way to Makkah
There is few boundaries where all people need to take few changes in terms cloths and ways if we are going for Umrah... same like ablution before Namaz (prayer) - there are few steps to follow... main things is Prepare in your mind, then cloths - for guys only two pieces of white dress and nothing can wear which is stitched...footwear need to be open toe.....this just general info, please check actual in books..
Means dress code will be same for all - poor, rich, king, indian, pakistani, Chinese, american anyone - - - this also a reminder "in-front of god, all are same" for women - same as normal dress-code like Abayaa but no need to close face,
To add here - - - recently noticed, dress code clearly mentioned in some important temples in Asia as well, especially in Thailand, China - need to cover head and cannot enter with short dresses...! it's about respect!
