   Finally! I am near Mecca! I took a caravan to Medina, and stayed in the Mosque of the Prophet and stayed there. The Mosque of Prophet was beautiful with its towering walls, and gold colored walls. It was a rare site! After staying in the Mosque for 4 days, I set out for Mecca and passed the Marr Valleys and could hardly wait to get there.
