A 19-hour road trip was taken from Abu Dhabi to Makkah, Saudi Arabia in 2007. Along the 2000 km route, many camels and beautiful mountain views were seen. After resting in Riyadh, the final 10 hours brought the travelers to Makkah by 5:35PM. The holiest sites of Islam were visited in Makkah, including the Kaaba and Al-Haram Mosque, before returning to Abu Dhabi after one week with fond memories.
