Hi all!

Holiday is really close and i have no idea where to go and what to do. It is my first hajj holiday in the kingdom. I live in Jeddah with my hubby and our 2yo daughter.

What do you usually do during the hajj holiday?

Let me know :)

Dammam or Bahrain is good option.....

Abha / Taif are much nearer and those are like hill station

Hello

Why not try a trip to Midian Salah and have a look at the amazing tombs and monuments. It can be arrange through your local travel agency that advertises Saudi tours. You could go to Riyadh and have a look at Jandaria, but I'm not sure about your financial our transportation situation. Because you're in Jeddah, you could go to Obhur and enjoy the water sports or go south and enjoy the beaches. If you're a Muslim you could go on Umrah during Arafat day as the Haram won't be busy....you may get to kiss the black stone.
Those are a few points as well as Hada Water Park on the road to Taif.
Happy holidays

Thanks for the suggestions!

I will research about Midian Salah. Husband and I are kind of adventure seekers. I personally love to learn about diff cultures and history. So Midian Salah will be on my list :)

We'd love to visit the silver sands too maybe next week. Our daughter loves to swim.

I will take note of Jandaria when we visit Riyadh.

I really appreciate all these suggestions. Thanks a bunch! 😄

Enjoy the holidays!
