Ramadan in Mecca

Performing the umrah during the fasting month is a memorable experience.

OUR plane landed in Medina a day before the start of the fasting month last year. The moment I stepped out of the terminal, I could feel the dry heat blowing on my face. But my husband, his mother and I, who were travelling with a group of 26, felt eager and excited because we had been looking forward to performing our umrah during Ramadan.
