Umroh - Makkah - 5

18 May 2013 - to Mount Arafat
Duncan MacDonald  
Jakarta   18  June   2013   

      Early morning we went by bus to an area called Arafat, approx 13 miles (21 km) from Makkah. En route we visited Jabal Tsur.
      Mount Arafat (Arabic: جبل عرفات‎; transliterated Jabal ‘Arafāt) is a granite hill east of Makkah. It is also known as the Mount of Mercy (Jabal ar-Rahmah).
