We got to the airport it was about 5.30 we parked the car, and we went to put our bags threw the checking area all our bags went threw. Then we went to eat breakfast at mc Donald’s our parents phoned us telling us we have to go 2 check our tickets. We went to our parents we said goodbye to then, we checked our self and we went straight threw we waved our byes and our parents went we finally was in duty free oh my god it was so amazing the atmosphere was amazing every body was shopping it was me my uncle ma aunty her 2 kids and her mum it was 7 of us. I asked my uncle if we could shop around he goes shop as much as u want but you have only got 3 hours to do shopping but he goes there is no point he goes when You come back do the shopping then we said were going to look around he goes meet us at gate number 16 we go ok.Me my 2 cousins were so excited we went around the shops I go to my cousins look at theses lacoste trainers they were really nice, I really wanted to buy them my uncle goes buy them when you come back. Then we had to set to the flight we was about to step threw the airplane and me and my cousin got excited cause we haven’t sat in an airplane since 4 years, so we went threw the plane on my right there was three seats, in the middle there was four, and on my left there was three. Me and my cousins sat together and my uncle and the rest sat together, the flight was just about to lift off all my cousins were scared for the flight to lift of but it was amazing for me, because I really like when flights lift if it feels like I am lifting off the earth. The flight lifted off there was an announcement after 15 minutes. The air hostesses came round giving hot towels to wipe our faces the journey was about 12 hours we all fell asleep.
I wake up and we had to get off the airplane, I looked out side the airplane and they announced that we was at Dubai me and my cousins looked at each other we was really excited, but the temperature was 45°.We got off the plane we freshened up and we went to ask the emirates desk manager if we could go out of the airport we went and spoke to them they go “yes sure you can go but they said that we could eat aswell in inside the airport because they said they provided it for us” We went to look for the place we had to eat we looked everywhere we couldn’t find it then we asked some one they told us where it was we went towards it the atmosphere was so busy every one was enjoying them self. We went and sat on the table they told us it was a buffet me and my cousins went crazy because the food smelt nice it was gorgeous we eat up and it was about 8 in the evening, our flight was for 12 o’clock. I asked my uncle if we could go to shop in the airport he goes ok.me and my cousins went it was so amazing we went in to shops and we tried sprays on it was such a laugh we enjoyed it so much. It was about 11.30 they announced “the passengers on emirates flight please come to your desk“we went to meet our uncle and we had to catch our flights, we went back and sat on the plane the plane was empty this time so we all had our own rows of seats it was so good cause we had three hours till we got to madina we all were praying from the plane to madina. We was about to land the plane was landing and the noise was like a cat scrapping his claws against the floor it gave me the shivers. We got off the plain we were at madina airport we had to get the coach to get to madina. We got the coach and the journey was about twenty minutes. We got to medina hotel and freshened up had a shower and was now ready to enter the holy mosque I couldn’t wait to see the mosque at 1st site it is said that if u make a prayer when you see the mosque at first site your prayer comes true it was beautiful there aren’t words to explain the feeling you have when u see the holy mosque from the inside and the house of Allah I sat in the mosque for approximately 4 hours that day before we went back to our hotels it was a long tiring day I had the best sleep ever. The next morning I woke up I was ready to go to the mosque again and pray. We also done a small pilgrimage witch was done by our prophet (pbuh) witch was a good experience. The weather there was hot very hot at times it would reach nearly 50c but inside the mosque the air conditioning was so good it felt like I was still in Britain, we also climbed up a mountain the same mountain our prophet Mohammed (pbuh) climbed when he was chased by the non believers there is a cave on top of the mountain were the prophet (pbuh) hid it was beautiful to see things like that and the view was also beautiful.
We mostly prayed in the mosque and made short pilgrimages I enjoyed it a lot it was a good experience for me we had to days left to leave I was kind of missing home now but I didn’t want to leave either and I was in the holy mosque right next to Allah’s house there is a black stone in one of the corners of gods house and it is said that whoever kisses the black stone there sins will b forgiven I tried my best that day to kiss the black stone and eventually I did it isn’t easy trying to kiss the stone for there is many people there trying to kiss many people die during hajj because they try and kiss the black stone and get crushed because there is so many people there, but I was happy though I got to kiss it and was looking forward to going home now it was our last day at madina I took many photos of the place so I could look back one day and say I was there.
As we left for the airport I stared out the coach window looking at the beautiful scenery and the big palm trees, we reached the airport and was through the hassle of getting into the plane quite quickly the plane took off and this time I wasn’t quite bothered about the flight I exited to see my family and friends again so I can tell them what an experience I had. I slept most the flight and were jus landing into Heathrow airport I ran off the plane in joy we entered the terminal and it felt good to be back home we collected our luggage and went for the exit there I saw my parents waiting for us to pick us up I hugged them in joy we all left the airport quickly so we could get home in time for dinner I told my mum and dad the whole experience on the way back from the airport I loved it.
