In 2000, I went to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. During my visit, I made both Hajj and Umrah. Those are two religious journeys for a Muslim. One is mandatory for a Muslim while the other is not.

To go to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, you need to have a reason for visiting, not just for tourism. Some of the reasons for visiting can include: Hajj, Umrah, business, or work. The Hajj/Umrah visa will only allow you to go to a specific area including Mecca, Jeddah, and Medina and the areas one must go during their pilgrimage.

The weather there is hot but without humidity. I really enjoyed my trip there and want to go back again.

I would love to hear from others about their experience there.

Best wishes,
Yasmine
