Hajj 2008

This was a very well organised hajj group. I went for Hajj in 2008 with Amaana Tours, I also only returned a few days ago 15.11.2008. Masha-Allah I have only praise for this group by the will of Allah, they delivered all that they promised and kept us aware of the problems with delays as they occurred and supplied plenty of liquid refreshment in Arafah, Mina and Muzdallifah, beyond what they needed to provide as part of the package. I travelled with my 3 and a half year daughter and her mother and found the admin team supportive and helpful in all aspects of my wishes to perform the Hajj rights as a whole family with my Daughter. The Hotel in Makah was wonderful and to me felt closer to the Haram than what the brothers had stated it was going to be in the Seminar before we left for Hajj. The Hotel in Medina was a step down as advised in the seminar but still comfortable and what it lacked in comfort compared to the Hotel in Makah it made up for with the location it was in. It was over looking the Masjid in Medina and was so close. Brother Navid (tour Guide) was especially helpful on the first time we ventured out as a family with the group to the Jumarat and helped me shield my daughter's pushchair as we entered in to the tunnels for the Jumarat. This was the first real frightening time of the journey for me and my wife up to this point we had not encountered any difficulties with my daughter but the brother did not curse me for bringing my child and by the will of Allah he helped me by guiding and helping me till we meet with the whole group at the 1st point of the stoning of the Jumarat. (May Allah grant him more patience and courage.) My daughter fell ill and I found the Tour group medical advisor Brother Rizwan on hand to provide reassurance on her state of health and he was on hand through out making sure she was o.k. I thank Allah that I was invited to Hajj 2008 and I was pared with an organisation such as Amaana Tours, that delivered everything it had said and more and I feel our group was blessed with additional brothers that had joined the group to perform Hajj themselves and provide support as tour guides so our journey for Hajj went as smooth and as comfortable as possible. Once again I recommend this group to any brother wishing to perform Hajj in the future as they are well organised allowing you to concentrate on your Hajj and like me if you have no option and need to take your child with you they will do there best to make it as safe and comfortable as possible.
