Just announced officially that Arafa will be on December 29 and the Eid on December 30 inchallah. Best wishes for everybody for the Eid ! The 29 will be a great day here in Makkah because it’s not very common that the Arafa coincide with a Friday, and I’m sure that Hadj will be very special this year, like every year and even better.
Yesterday I was close to the Haram and I see lot of the Tunisians Hadj groups with their guides taking the Tunisian Flag in hand and wearing red tshirts Tunisia and hats. It’s amazing, even hotels decorated with the Tunisian flag, that you’ll feel yourself in Tunis because most of the hotels they take are very close to the Haram in Gaza or direction of the Umra Door.
There is something great that I heard about it recently which is all bus in the direction Makkah-Medina will not be allowed to drive by night. Hope this decision will help to limit the bus accidents which are very dangerous, and also limit travel agencies which try to make more profit by not paying the night at hotels and making them travel by night about 5 hours. The drivers might be sleepy and tired and that’s what usually create accidents.
Anyway, I don’t know yet my plans for next week, but I don’t know also if I can stand staying in Makkah while everybody are doing pilgrimage in Arafa.
