Once I had recharged with some sleep, I felt much better. I had a coffee and half a chocolate chip muffin (which I asked them to warm in the microwave, solid 8/10), it was time to board our flight home. We walked to the gate which was on the opposite side of the airport and … Continue reading Thursday – 25/09/2025 | Abu Dhabi to Johannesburg

Thursday – 18/09/2025 | Madinah to Makkah | Umrah
There is nothing better than being able to walk with your sister in the streets of Madinah at 1am. My sister and I walked from our hotel to the Green Dome.

This morning I woke up to Sheikh Baleelah’s voice in the hotel room. I read Fajr and went back to sleep. I am genuinely surprised because I went down for breakfast where I ate the best French toast and caught up with the rest of the fam. The haram was very busy today so I … Continue reading Friday – 12/01/2024 | Taif and my favourite night in Makkah
