Our Pilgrimage Journey to Medina and Mecca on January 2014: Sofaraa Al Huda Hotel

In Medina, Saudi Arabia, we stayed in the Sofaraa Al Huda Hotel. The hotel was conveniently tucked just across the Nabawi Mosque, making the praying and resting to be easier for us.

The unique thing about hotels in Medina, is that they are always surrounded by small kiosk all around them. Either you are staying at the Hilton or in three stars hotel, you can always find dates shop, restaurants, fast food chain, or even starbucks.

As most of the hotel guests comes from Indonesia and Malaysia, most of the foods served here has adjusted Malay taste. We say, adjusted, as the flavor might not be as similar as you can find in the local warong around Indonesia, but for some of us, it does lessen the burden for homesickness.

As the meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in the hotel (making the trip as the ultimate pilgrimage and praying trip), it will be boring for us to eat the same thing everyday. It is a good thing that the chef here is quite creative, alternating the Mediteranian cuisine in the breakfast menu, and on lunchtime and dinnertime, focusing on Malay and Indonesian taste.

Yum. Back to praying I guess.

Enjoy!
