Day 25: Our big trip

 So today everyone who is involved in the trip. All 150 of them came down before 6 and waited for the bus. The problem is the bus was super late and in the end we ended up leaving by 6:45. I was frantically trying to ease everyone into thinking that everything is going to be okay. But there are people who can be heard complaining. 3 busses arrive and got on the third bus without any guide. So that sucks for us. The first stop is a place called Hudaibiyah mosque. It’s a place where peace was some kind of treaty was signed. I wasn’t paying attention that much because I need to make sure that the group all stayed together. After a while I rounded them up for our next destination. Which was a camel farm. It’s basically an oasis in the middle of the dessert. There they serve us local food but the problem was another unexpected party joined in so they ran out of food. I got pictures with same camels and horses. I saw some cats as well. After that place we made our way to the fruit market. Inside the fruit market it was a air conditioned warehouse full of fruits of all kind. Because Saudi Arabia doesn’t have that many fruit choices. Most of them are imported. That means it’s  all vacuum sealed. When we enter the warehouse it smells of fruit. Lovely. I bought some fruit since I don’t want to be left behind. But not too much. Others just bought plastic full of fruits. After that we left for mall that sells clothes where we shop for some clothes and then we went to the mosque for miqat (basically doing umrah again). Overall the experience was awesome and our trip was free plus they gave us sr300 spending money. Alhamdulilah. We had lunch and then we left for the mosque for umrah. My wife finally can do her Hajj. This time we are taking the scooters since we want to save time. The hung is the scooters also takes a good hour. We had to stop to pray for a while before continuing. We left the mosque and went to a food court to get some dinner. It was a tiring day
