My heart woke up super sad today and I couldn’t help saying “last zohr”, “last asr”, etc after every salaah.

We had some chicken tikka and dhaar and rice for lunch in our little lounge that somehow managed to fit nineteen of us!

All of us wanted to buy those Zam Zam dispensers so we made our way (using Careem) to Al Kakiyah to buy them where a store called Ala Kaifak sold them. It was a huge store and we wanted a lot of stuff. They had cool appliances, beautiful dishes and lots of self care stuff. But keeping in mind our 23 kg bags and considering the fact that we hadn’t bought any abayas yet, we stopped ourselves.

I stopped for a moment to just watch the traffic and couldn’t help but feel a little envious of those who get to call Makkah home.

We caught the Careem back to the hotel and relaxed until asr. After reading asr in the room, I was feeling a bit sick and needed to nap. I ended up reading Maghrib and Esha in the room.

After supper, I went for a walk to Abraj al Bait which was a vibe but also depleted my energy so instead of going back to the haram, I went back to sleep.
