  • In this video, I share timetables, prices, and my step-by-step guide on how to book your tickets for the Haramain High Speed Railway (HHR) that services Medina (Madinah), Jeddah Airport (JED), and Makkah (Mecca). I also show a map of the station so you know exactly what to expect and how to get to Al Haram.
    **UPDATE: A friendly commenter mentioned there is now a bus that goes regularly from the Makkah train station to Al Haram area, which is much cheaper than taxi. Here is the website: www.makkahtransit.sa/
    I also share my best tips and tricks on how to navigate the trip strategically to help save you time, money, and energy.
    I hope you benefit from this video inshaaAllah, please like, comment, subscribe, and share with someone else who may also benefit! Let's help demystify Umrah and help make it more accessible to all, inshaaAllah.

    Salam ‘alaykum Sister. I just wanted to add that Haramain Train provides a free shuttle bus from Makkah train station to the Haram (Makkah). The bus takes you to Jebal Umar.

    Any help would be appreciated, taking a trip on May. Our plan is:
    Jeddah Airport to Makkah
    Makkah to Medina
    Medina to jeddah Airport
    So far trains each way aren't really costing a lot. Can you book them as you land and pay online? JazzakhAllah

    How did you all avoid getting sick? I am very worried as I hear from friends who are currently there, everyone is sick. We plan to go in 3 weeks.إن شاء الله

    • @sweetsmart
      @sweetsmart  Рік тому +2

      First and foremost... KN95, KF94, or N95 masks! Second, not touching the face until you wash hands for 20 seconds. That includes making wudhu at the hotel if possible (being wary of surfaces there too because the housekeepers are all men and men simply don't clean as good as women lol). If you must make wudhu at the haram, then wash hands before rinsing the mouth and face. I'd consider taking a bottle of hand soap in a Ziploc in your backpack next time around because the bathrooms are always out 😭 always keep in mind that every door handle, light switch, table, chair, can have viruses on it. Carry hand sanitizer religiously. My mom has diabetes and I was so, so worried she would get sick. But all the paranoid actions I took paid off lol, mashaAllah, Alhamdulillah. I even left my prayer spot in the masjid once and moved outside because people on both sides were coughing and the mask can only do so much. But I still prayed with everyone outside the door, so inshaaAllah I still got the reward of praying in the masjid. These are just some tips, none of which I followed during my first Umrah in early 2020 (when I got soooo sick 🤢). Do let me know if you'd like a full video with all my tips 💕

    Are permits required for Umrah and praying in Noble Rawdah in Medina through the Nusuk app? I heard that Umrah permit is no longer checked upon entry into Haram to perform Umrah.

    • @sweetsmart
      @sweetsmart  Рік тому +2

      The umrah permit was not checked for us in Mecca. Bonus tip: They only allow people dressed for Umrah on the first floor for tawaf, so anyone seeking to perform a second tawaf needs to go upstairs (women have more leeway since there's no ihram dress). In Medina, yes they were checking the permit for the noble rawdah DIRECTLY on the app (no screenshots allowed)! We didn't know and had to wait on the side for 15 minutes until we borrowed someones internet to login to the app and show the code and details from the app directly. They had said that if we don't have a reservation, we could enter through a different gate but I believe the access isn't full access that way. And I didn't see anyone going that way either. Try to get in line quickly after Salah because the line can get really long.

    • @sweetsmart
      @sweetsmart  Рік тому

      Walaikum asalam Farhan, yes let me ask my husband. They will initially quote you a high amount to take advantage of foreigners not knowing what price is normal for Saudi, do not settle for that and try to talk them to bring the price down. Let me ask him what he was able to get it for, I will reply in a bit.
      Regarding time, it depends on what time (and traffic). The taxi drivers generally drive pretty fast so you should arrive in 20 minutes or so give or take, inshaaAllah.

    • @sweetsmart

      In the meantime if you are looking for additional ways to save, a brother below mentioned there is a bus to Haram area. I believe it was free during the launch period but there may be a very low priced ticket required now. It seems like it comes very often but I haven't taken it so not sure. Check here: www.makkahtransit.sa/

    • @sweetsmart

      So they quoted 80 and he talked them down to 55 SAR. About USD $14.66

      Salaam Aafiya! They start boarding 60 minutes before departure, and they say they close boarding 10 minutes before departure. Best to plan to get there 30-45 minutes before departure in case of traffic. You can always have a snack or coffee there if you are early. The seats are also comfortable so if you board early, there's no problem
