Hatem’s Diaries

Today is the first day of Hadj 1427, called “Tarwiya”. Everybody spend the day in Mena and pray there Dhohr, Asr, Maghreb, Isha, and Fajr of Friday. And after that direction to Arafat, which is the most important day of Hadj. Certainly the first day is for praying but also for resting because the distance from Mena to Arafat is the longest one, and then by night you have to go back to Muzdalefa and spend the night there, to go back to Mena the day after. I’m not sure but I think there is about 15km to walk only tomorrow. Of course there is means of transports for organized groups, but it’s faster to walk

I took the pict this morning while going to my office around 9am, the sky is very clear as you can see but it was a little freezing. From that point there is between 2.5 and 3km until the beginning of Mena. The weather next week will be excellent inchallah until Wednesday, and I think it’s going to rain like the previous years.
