Back to the story/post.
So when we got back to Makkah we had to do Tawaaf and the 2 Rakaat Namaaz after Tawaaf.
While doing Tawaaf your left shoulder faces the Kabaah and you star at the black stone. I got to touc the Kabaah and even the black stone. (I think).
Then we did saee and Tawaaf un Nisa and a 2 Rakaat Salaat for that. There is a Tawaaf for married couples to do so their marriage is valid or something like that.
Didn't get to see Zam Zam but did get to drink it, or at least what the Saudi's call Zam Zam.
Oh yeah, inside Masjid ul Haraam there are all these water coolers which have zam zam in them.
So since we finished the actual proper part of Hajj we could do what we wanted. We went shopping for souvenirs of course. And had halal food of course, cause who'd give up the chance to get halal McDonalds. But the burger didn't look like how it looks on TV to me.
My mom and grandma would go to the Kabaah to pray fajr a lot of the nights, and since we where ther on a Friday we saw the Jumah salaat. There were so many people filling the streets, it was amazing. A giants flock of tiny white people (I was looking from the hotel window and we were high up).
Well, gotta go,
Ruqayyah
