"It is strange to see women totally covered sleeping in the mosque.
On the side note, the electricity bill of this place should be in millions at least.
Only animals you will see are cats & pigeons.
It is weird to be stared at by men.
No one looks at you in the west.
In 2009, you were not allowed to take camera phone inside. Now as everyone has a smartphone, the authority cannot do much. The amount of selfies taken with Kaaba in the background is mind-boggling. People making videos while doing tawaaf is distasteful. I have even seen people Skype while doing tawaaf. I may sound ancient but C'mon people. It is just not right.
As many men have their shoulders uncovered, it is rather cringe-worthy to see human flaws. Hair like a bear, moles & skin tags. Some men have their belly bare which is very unsightly. Quite unattractive. Such big wobbly bellies.
The cloth of Kaaba is very fragrant. Very soft.
People bring food and give it to other people. Anything from tea to candy to dates etc etc. My sister in law actually thought that people are selling it. It is 3.16 am. People are giving away tea and snacks. Isn't it great? Free food.
There are ababeel like birds at Fajr time.
There is no overweight Malaysian or Indonesian woman and no underweight Arab woman that I have seen:-) I can see women with water bottles on the top of their heads just like a gaon ki aurat with matka on her head. It is very amusing to see that. Some Arab woman from a gaon of Egypt may be.
Egyptians make the largest proportion of visitors to Makkah followed by Pakistan & Indonesia. "
