I Took My Family to UMRAH!

We’re back… and we have stories to tell! ✈️🌍 

First things first—road trip snacks make no sense (seriously, why do we do this to ourselves?! 😭). Then, we finally spill on where we’ve been, including Sara’s very last-minute trip to Ummrah 🕋✨. Spoiler alert: planning around “nature’s calling” is an extreme sport. 😅

Pro tip: CHECK YOUR PASSPORT EXPIRY or you might end up in trouble like someone we know 👀. From almost missing flights (classic 🙃) to experiencing the Muslim airline struggle and getting her bags lost again (seriously, what is this bad luck?!), Sara’s journey was anything but smooth.

But nothing beats the feeling of seeing the Ka’ba for the first time 🥹, surviving the circling of the Ka’ba, and the actual struggle of finding a spot to pray in the Masjid. Oh, and did we mention touching the Ka’ba and the dangerous side of Tawaf? Because WOW.

To wrap it all up, we’re giving you top 5 tips for Ummrah so you don’t make the same mistakes. And btw… this episode almost didn’t happen. Tune in to find out why! 🎙️✨
