Dear Sara,

I hope you are enjoying good health and may you always stay quiet hale and hearty. I returned back from a holiday and want to share my fantastic experience with you. I went to Saudi Arabia last week. This was my dream place to visit. I love to visit to this place again and again in my life. My all stress goes away after visiting masjid Al Haram . This spiritual and sacred place is best to visit.

In Makkah I met different people from different cultures they all are very kind and they give me a lot of gifts in form of tabruk.

I recommended you to must visit this holy place , you loved to visit this place. I am more kind and religious after visiting this place.

I can’t express my feelings when I saw beautiful KABA . I fall I love with this place. Everywhere there is peace and tranquility.

Everything there is neat and clean and I can say that it was city of lights. Everytime colorful shops are open. I enjoyed burying so many things from different stalls. These things are very unique and colorful.

In short, I highly recommended you to visit this place otherwise you regret.

Pay my regards to aunt. Wish you all happiness and success for your future.

Yours truly
