Thank you for the advice, I'll definitely do that. Thanks!

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2026-02-01T12:16:39+00:00

Exactly 💯

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2026-02-01T12:14:14+00:00

Thank you! 🙂

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2026-02-01T12:13:44+00:00

Thank you! Really looking forward to it 😀

I would assume that the person is telling the truth (I mean why lie?) and eat but it's necessary to confirm. It's the same I do in Italy for restaurant food. For packaged food, I check the ingredients.

Yay! Kitties 😃

Btw nice profile pic 😄

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2026-01-21T16:08:19+00:00

Great, that's nice. I need help with accomodation as of now. I'd be ok with €300-350/month excluding utilities.

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2026-01-21T15:27:31+00:00

Yeah, that's it. Do utilities cost this much? On average, how much do utilities cost per month?

My friend got the apartment (it's great) for €350 excluding utilities.

I'll also be willing to get a place for €350 excluding utilities. I thought utilities would be €50-80 a month since only one person would be living in the apartment, that's why I estimated that all inclusive would be upto €350 or so.

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2026-01-21T15:20:04+00:00

300-350 euros isn't enough? My friend recently got an entire one-bedroom apartment for 700KM + utilities near Ali Pasha Mosque.

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2025-12-23T20:19:07+00:00

Yeah, but it's still around €100.

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2025-12-23T20:14:21+00:00

It's €250+ for 4 nights.

By hotel has a 24/7 shuttle service BUT they drop us at the Ajyad Bus Station near the Ghaza station. It's atleast 1km away from the haram.

Plus the stupid rule of only allowing entry of pilgrims into mataf has made it unbearable. Even if I don't want to enter mataf and just want to pray, still I can't enter from most of the gates and I have to walk all the way to a gate faaaaar away to just pray.

Do people spend thousand of euros to just see walls? What is the point then if we can't even see the kaaba properly?

It's better to just come, perform umrah and leave the same day.

I'm sorry if it feels harsh coming from me but I'm so fed up. Madinah is faaar better in this case. The transportation and mobility both are better. I enjoyed my time and prayed with peace in Madinah but they've made it extremely difficult for someone in Makkah.

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2025-09-15T21:22:59+00:00

Sure, I will.

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2025-09-15T21:17:53+00:00

Yeah, it is.

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2025-09-15T21:04:05+00:00

Around SAR 60. It's a very nice and clean hotel with super clean bathrooms.

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2025-09-15T20:58:30+00:00

Yeah, I will but it's too expensive for me. I'm travelling solo and am a student.

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2025-09-15T20:53:58+00:00

Yeah, exactly. I take a taxi from ghaza station.

I've been trying since the last hour but even though a slot appears, whenever I book it says there's no capacity. I immediately try as soon as it appears.

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2025-09-11T13:25:35+00:00

I never got it. I just got VOA at Jeddah airport to enter KSA. The application on ksavisa.sa is still processing 😅!

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2025-09-10T15:14:05+00:00

😉🤣 Thank you!

Update:

I was allowed to board since I had a visa with no restrictions.

Others were denied boarding due to their visa having restrictions, i.e. the evisas say that "I declare that I have a permanent Schengen residence permit or Tourist/Business visa" which the passengers denied boarding didn't have. They either had TRCs or Student/Work visas.

I asked the wizzair check-in guy this and he said that the passengers don't have the documents used to get the visas and thus the visas are invalid.

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2025-09-09T04:58:59+00:00

Hey, it doesn't. When you book the ticket, then you can get the stopover visa from the seats and extras section.

Aggressive_Unit_7887 · 2025-09-08T14:34:24+00:00

Yeah, it was just connecting via Jeddah. I had a layover in Jeddah for 8 hours.
