My Trip to Hajj


Last week, I went with my brother to Saudi Arabia because we wanted to do Hajj. We went by car so it was very long way. We left home at 11 o'clock in the morning and we arrived to the UAE border at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. When I was in the car I felt bored because the road was very long. At 7 o'clock in the evening we arrived to Riyadh and we felt tired so we relaxed in a hotel until 4 o'clock in the morning and we continue driving. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon we arrived to Maccah and we went to Arafa where we slept there and there were alot of camps. On the next day, we left Arafa at 9 o'clock in the evening by bus and we went to Mina it's 10 km between Arafa and Mina but we took 15 hours to arrive to Mina because there was alot of traffic so we felt bored and tired. We stayed in Mina for 3 days after that we returned to the UAE. When we arrived to the UAE border it was midnight and it was my shift to drive. It's 500 km from the border to Sharjah so It took 5 hours to arrive Sharjah but I took 3 hours to arrive because I drove 190 km/h and sometimes 200!!!

Congratulations on your trip to Saudi to do Haj. It sounds like it was a really exhausting journey, but I am sure it was worth it! I'm not very pleased to hear about your driving on the way back, though! I'm sure that you're family was happy to see you return home safely.
