Over all Alhamdulillah, an excellent life time experience. Al-Eman group made every possibility to make Hajj easier for people. Special thanks to Brother Waheed and his full support and management team.... read more During the overall Hajj, I have seen Brother Waheed working along closely with his staff team to make lives of Hajis easier. Being a President of the company, he could have just sat down and ordered, but he did put in effort and worked hard. Brother Waheed and his team just don’t work at commercial purpose, but also takes it to their heart to make Hajj easier for Hajis. If you have any issues, Brother Waheed will go a step ahead to try to help you. Because Al-Eman made things easier, Hajis could spend most of their time in Ibaadat as opposed to figuring out for food, travel etc. People must first set their mind, you are on Hajj and not on vacation. Things can be little up and down when you are talking about coordinating hundreds of people in the group and millions of people in overall Hajj. You can always find people complaining and never satisfied, for those kinds of people, I asked them to go outside of gated Al-Eman community which we were in Mina to see the life outside. Outside, you can see people don’t have food to eat and water to drink and sleeping on streets in temperatures of over 107F. Looking at them, I would say we had a very luxurious life with Al-Eman tents in Mina. Shaitaan is open and will take every single opportunity to destroy your Hajj. It starts with testing your patience for every single thing. Brothers and sisters, please do not make Shitaan win. Let me briefly talk about my entire journey here: • Al-Eman provided guidance all throughout the Hajj process. • When landed in Saudi Arabia (Madina) Al-Eman staff was right at airport to guide us till the bus. • Provided breakfast in a box, till we reached the hotel which was like 30-45 mins from airport. • When we arrived at the airport, it was breakfast time so we got to eat the breakfast which was excellent. We stayed in Dallah Taiba, which is right across Gate#25 of Haram. Overall, service and food was excellent at the Hotel. • We had scholars who spoke about Hajj process, after breakfast and dinner regarding significance of different things during Hajj. • We left for Makkah via flight, and for the entire trip we have Al-Eman staff guiding and helping. • From Jeddah airport, again they were Al-Eman staff team guiding us to Buses. Bus stopped right few blocks from Haram and people did Tawaf and Sayee and came back to buses and we left for Mina. • Excellent Part: A/C Tents in Mina were right across Jamarat. We could go hit Shaitan and come back in 15-20 mins. Food was provided 3 times a day in Mina. They were hundreds of Al-Eman staff working day and night in hot temperatures to make Hajj journey easy for people. And they always had smiles on their faces and always ready to help you and guide you. • They are people and buses carrying Al-Eman signs. • Mina to Arafat we went via bus. Very nice setup by Al-Eman group. • Arafat to Muzdalifa we went via train and very well coordinated. • Stayed night in Muzdalifa and came back to Mina via train. • Did Jamarat (hitting of shaitaan) • Stayed in Fairmont Hotel in Clock tower which is now considered part of Haram. • Stayed 2 nights in a nice hotel in Jeddah and came back to US. Again, during the entire trip, Al-Eman group worked very hard to make Hajj easier for people.
