hey salaam everyone welcome to mecca so right in front of us is the kaaba and surrounding
that it's called masjid al haram so i'm right now at the fairmont hotel and i want to show
you how the fairmont hotel looks like and then after that i'm going to show you the streets of
mecca so first let's give you a hotel tour so this is a hotel room it's nice big and spacious
and this over here is a king-sized bed but of course what's beautiful about this hotel
room is seeing this view so let's let's check out more of this hotel
okay so here's some luggage and stuff this this hotel room is a little bit messy just because
you know obviously people are staying here at this hotel right now i'm staying here and some family
members so we got a bathtub over here here's the bathroom it'll just give you a nice view of the
bathroom as you're entering the bathroom tub to the left there's a sink and then to the right
is the shower area a nice place where you could sit down and they have two shower heads so if
your old person want to sit down or you just want to take a rest on this bench they got you covered
then over here is the toilet and then this if you're wondering what this is this just cleans you
up after you're done using the toilet or if you want you can use a spraying jet you have two options
and it's pretty strong get you nice and clean that's me of course okay so
get out of this bathroom this is this room and let me show you so as you're entering the hotel
room this is the front entrance and here's like a little area a little hallway area and then let
me enter to the right real quick this is a massive table that could fit like six people
uh there's some stuff on the table my camera gear that's what i use when i'm outside okay
let's see then also here's a nice spacious living area you see there's two long sofas so two people
could sleep here as well and then also over here it's beautiful that uh they give you some nice
fruit some like arabic sweets over here as you can see and also i'll show you this over here
this is like a tea kettle or a coffee kettle it's pretty cool how they designed it and you have some
every coffee which i just finished and also over here are dates if you don't know what dates are
they're famous in saudi arabia and uh around the middle east people typically love to eat or people
usually eat them in ramadan or just all year round it's filled with a lot of like nutrients
and here's another beautiful view of the kaaba so one of the reasons people do book the hotel
i think i mentioned it just because of the view so you can literally have some coffee have some dates
or just you know just relax and just see this magnificent structure you can never get enough
okay so this is the living room over here another tv that's this room and we'll show
you another bathroom and then another room our niece is sleeping stuff to be a little bit quiet
here's another bathroom similar to the other one i showed you
okay nice and let's go through this room real quick so here's two smaller beds
but they're pretty big they're like double beds okay so this is this room another tv
and then going through this hallway area real quick is a little kitchen area where you can make
some coffee over here in this miss cafe machine and yeah i have some tea give you a wide variety
of things cool okay so i showed you how the hotel room looks like so it'll be a little bit quiet
so let me show you the streets of mecca so let's go on the street show how the street
of mecca looks like in 2022 and yeah let's go okay guys welcome to the streets of mecca
this is how it looks like after friday prayer
see many guys are wearing white over here and uh women are wearing black
that's typically because people when they come to mecca they want to either perform
or hajj and usually when people perform umbra men have to wear white and women have to wear
black okay and then just above us is where the clock tower is let me see if
i can show you guys i'll walk a little bit more and i'll show you guys the clock tower
that's where i showed you in the beginning of the video that's where uh the hotel was the hotel room
here's the clock tower right over here it was just
right across from there and then if you're on a higher floor you can see the cabba
i was here a few months ago if you're a returning viewer or returning subscriber
i was here a few months ago and it wasn't this crowded but now since everything is opening up
for uh ramadan and just you know less chronovirus restrictions this is how
it looks like hello salaam how are you guys how are you good how are you guys
yeah nice meeting you nice to meet you where are you guys from from india india
and then on our left uh yeah you can see there's a lot of construction happening over here
is very crowded over here
believe it or not it's marching saudi it's kind of hot but not like it's bearable
and i just noticed since i came this way it's going to be hard for me to go the opposite way
it's okay i want to show you guys how is uh mecca right now
i'm going to get all right there we go there's a straight ahead there's the clock tower
you know what i'm just going to go straight and right to the clock tower because if not
it's going to be hard for me to come back here because of the crowd you can see wow
so let's go inside of the clock tower and something nice about the clock tower is
uh there's a mall inside of here so there's a hotel and then also there's a mall let me show you
a quick overview i do want to get them some water off there's like this special oh challenge yeah
sure show you real quick you guys are going to be on youtube is that fine that's okay tk okay

okay and i can later on i'll show you more of the street side of mecca but it's just
very crowded i don't know how much i can show you guys right now but let's let me show you them all
and over here you can see like those guys over there are wearing scarves many people
from uh the same country or from the same group they come to omran they come
they will wear uh scarves or something like like for example like those uzbekistan people over
there are wearing uh some vests to show they're from uzbekistan and also to find uh to find the
group that they're in because sometimes it could be confusing if like a lot of people
are wearing white you can't find them and here i want to show you real quick there's some street
sellers on the streets so i miss whack which is a stick that you it's used to clean your teeth
so yeah they're selling the swag over here
but it seems like the seems like this guy is wrapping up real fast because uh
the security maybe doesn't want them to do this and also some guy over here selling some qurans
okay let's go inside the clock tower
just lost in the maze of people
uzbekistan those guys are from uzbekistan
take off my sunglasses
so now we have entered the clock tower mall and it's a massive mall too
and this is how the mall looks like guys are you surprised so uh this small it has
like multiple levels like five no obviously we're on the first floor second third floor
fourth oh it says like four four or five floors so this is nice you buy a lot of like different like
prayer beads or prayer rugs or you know it's good to like give your family souvenirs
it's new i think it's been up like maybe it's like 10 years old or less
and let me show you a little bit things that they're saying over here so you see
all their song over here is rare beads and we have rings
some uh water bottles over here so now what's up sorry there's mobile over here
here's the mobile is like one of saudi's like main uh cell phone providers here
see that guy also sawing some prayer beads
and during the prayer time most of the shops are closed because uh
and saudi it's normal like if the prayer is going on like people to close their
shops because there's not going to be any customers and plus people want to pray too
let me show you real quick some stores before i finish the video
so this guy is a rug store signing prayer rugs
sawing different perfume and clones over here you can see
they'll make you your own like special scent
okay so what else they have macca dates look at the wide variety of dates they have over here
kind of get prices of dates and these are all per kg so like for these days 53 uh saudi reels per kg
i'll put the price in dollars to give you guys an idea these ones 230 per kg ajwa jumbo dates
so this is good uh if you want to buy souvenirs definitely come here
they got you covered and you're right next to the cowboy too
