Day 3

In the morning we left the hotel to visit the madain salleh. It is a world heritage site with ruins of the Nabatean.

In the alquran, ths is the place where prophet salleh and his kaum resided. This was also where the punishment of Allah was delivered to his kaum for killing the she camel.

During prophet muhammad, he passed through this place on the way to tabuk and reminded his army to hasten as this place is cursed...

We also visited the ottaman unfinished railway station

We left madain salleh and stop at khaibar for lunch. There is a good replica of a typical Arab house by the roadside in khaibar . We ate rice, meat curry and fried chicken

The journey back was uneventful, the only regret from the whole journey was that we missed so many fardhu prayers at the nabawi mosque...

It is also the first day of the semester break here and the atmosphere at the mosque is something like a carnival... And Arabs will always be Arabs I supposed...
