Tim Blight’s Umrah to Makkah!

On 12 Dec 202012 Dec 2020 By Andy RoamsIn Middle East, travel, VlogLeave a comment

As a follow up to last Sunday's guest post - What is Makkah Really Like? Makkah or Mecca is a destination that a lot of people will probably never experience, and certainly not as part of a pilgrimage, so I thought it would be a great idea today to share with you some of Tim's videos about just that!

Retro Review – Gulnara Guesthouse, Tashkent

On 9 Dec 202019 Oct 2020 By Andy RoamsIn Central Asia, Hotels and Accommodation, travel4 Comments

Time for another RETRO Review, where we shift back through time to many years back now and I write about a place I stayed at which has remained in the corners of my memory for one reason or another. Today, I’m writing about Gulnara Guesthouse where I stayed in June 2011 when I was in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan.

What is Makkah Really Like? – Guest Post by Tim Blight!

On 6 Dec 202024 Oct 2020 By Andy RoamsIn Middle East, travel5 Comments

I'm very excited today because Tim Blight has given me this amazing guest post about his visit to Makkah in Saudi-Arabia. I think for many we can't image the Islamic pilgrimage to their holiest city, and today Tim reveals a little about just what it is like.
