Couldn’t be better! From reservation to the farewell at Jeddah, the sweetest experience my 8 years old son and I could’ve had. They have their office in Manhattan. Mr. Najam handled our trip in an excellent way. The moment you enter, the most pleasant personality at the receptions greets you. She is Miss Saeeda with a never ending smile and her ubiquitous readiness to help. My little girl was with me when we went to the office to finalize the trip; Miss Saeeda gave her a big hug that kept my daughter happy for the rest of the day. May Allah SWT bless her with the best of the both worlds, ameen. Mr. Salim welcomed us at the Jeddah airport with an infectious smile. He’s a very nice gentleman and very polite. May Allah SWT bless him, ameen. Bus took an hour and half or more to get moving. We’ve no idea why the driver waited that long. Maybe the check in at Medinah hotel had something to do with it. It should have been scheduled in a way as not to waste our precious time. We could’ve spent some more time at The Mosque if he moved in time. We got to Madinah late. Our trip was supposed to be a 6-night trip but later we realized that the management took away our one night and asked us to check out at 6PM on the 6th night! We were not happy campers and so was the case with many of our group mates. I expressed my concern to Mr. Taufiq and let him know I wasn’t too happy about it. Mr. Taufiq said he had a surprise dinner for us that’ll make us happy. Well, I thought, no food on earth would make up the time lost here! We had very limited time in Makkah; two nights only! Well, we boarded the bus from Makkah to Jeddah via our “special dinner” spot. On our way, we came to know we were going to the “Jabal-e-Rehmah” at Arafat! That’s when my heart started jumping. Oh yes, we were going to Arafat. Last time on Hajj my wife and I with our group were miles away from the Mt. Arafat. I told my little boy we were going to Jabal e Rehmah and explained the importance of it. He was very excited. Even with my severely bad back and other maladies, my son managed to coerce me into climbing up the mount. In the middle of the hike, halfway from the top I gave up and so did he. Then I said, “Son, I might not be able to come here again, so let’s go to the top”. My 8yrs. old suddenly became a grown up and said, “Let’s go dad”. We climbed all the way up! Alhamdolillah! Once we were on top of the Jabal e Rehmah, a prayer poured out my heart for Dar El Salam organizers who thought of this event. May Allah Bless you guys, Ameen. What you did for us is something never to forget. Whether I’m around or not, this trip will never be forgotten by my 8yrs. old and that was the purpose of bringing him along. Mr. Salim was there for us again at Jeddah airport at departure. Same beautiful smile and an eagerness to help! He helped me with ZamZam packing and helped with check in. He guided at every step. You guys are great! My 7yrs old daughter is very upset for not being able to go with us. Every time she sees the pictures, she becomes sad. Allah willing, when He makes it happen, we’ll certainly go with you again and with confidence. I would recommend you to my friends as well. Jazak Allah Khair. Malik Awan.
