We reached Jeddah Airport at about 10pm Jeddah time. Immigration check out was surprisingly smooth. It didn't take us too long in the queue, alhamdulillah.
The only problem was that our lugguages were nowhere to be found. We were therefore instructed by our mutawwif to get on to our respective buses which would then ferry us to Madinah. Noor Mohamad Services & Travel's big boss made an announcement that our luggages were still in Changi Airport due to some unforeseen circumstance. Alhamdulillah we were all very calm with it. Things happen anyway :)
We had a one stopover somewhere I wasn't quite sure where in between for a short toilet break cum refreshment break. This was where we saw few cute kitties but unfortunately the cat food which I brought along was in my luggage, which was still at Changi Airport.
It took us almost 2 solid hours before our bus moved on to Madinah. It was 4.30am Madinah time when we arrived at Sofaraa Al Huda Hotel. Check-in was a breeze alhamdulillah.
We freshened up and within a short period of time, we proceeded to Masjid An Nabawi for fajr prayer. Returned to the hotel for breakfast before ziarah to Raudhah @ Makam Rasulullah s.a.w. It was not made visible or open though to us female jemaah. But subhanallah, alhamdulillah, AllahuAkbar!! We managed to get in to Raudhah compound. We were that close to Rasulullah s.a.w :') Kakak and I got to perform 2 rakaat solah sunat in front of Raudhah, on the second saf to be exact. MasyaAllah!! I just could not describe the feeling. To be that close to Rasulullah s.a.w was just masyaAllah!!! :'(
