While the rest of family shopped in various stores in Corniche, my father-in-law chose to be involved in engaged discussion around Islamic philosophy with one of our muthowif. A better way to spend time, I suppose 🙂

While waiting our hotel rooms to be prepared, we were taken to Corniche Commercial Center, a modern market center in Jeddah, a place where you can find a lot of Indonesian (owned) shops and restaurant. Not bad for last minute gift ideas 🙂

On our way to Jeddah we stopped by a camel farm which is located just on the side of highway. Some of our jamaah used the opportunity to buy camel milk. But the kids, Rafif, especially, really fascinated just to meet and pet the big camel from close quarter.
