During the last Omra I visited Medina were the prophet Mohammed – peace be upon him – is buried. There stands his mosque – one of the main three mosques in the world in addition to Kaaba in Mecca and AlAqsa in AlQods (Jerusalem).

This is really the most peacfull place in the world.

I was able to do Omra alhamdulilah during July. This time I took my wife and children with me. It was the first time for the kids.

It’s a trip full of emotions. In this trip I recalled the prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) the grand father of Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed – peace be upon all of them. The life events and deeds of Abraham and his family (his wives and sons) is a cornerstone in the Omra and Haj ceremonies.

I wish I can keep going to Omra every year!

That was two months ago. And it was wonderful. I had to arrange my calendar to have business meetings at morning time and play tourist after that.

London is pleasing and contains a lot to see. I was living in Marble Arch and managed to have walk trips around many of downtime areas around, starting with Oxford and ending at Strand. I visited many of the city attractions like: the British museum, Madame Touso, Tower of London, Tower bridge, London bridge, Hyde park, Big Ben, Westminster palace, Birmingham palace, and so many other places. And I wished to see some other places. Hopefully will do next time!

After my business is done, I took a couple of days in the weekend around the beautiful southern countryside where I visited Portsmouth and Petersfield.
