Mecca Shops Potpourri.
I have visited The Holy Land twice, The first time I step my feet on the holy land was in 2007. The second time was in 2014. The shopping scenario was not much the different.
During the hajj season the street is fully occupied. It was so difficult to walk around. Hundred of thousand people from all over the world moving about in the Holy City of Mecca.
With million of people in the city food has never been a scarce item. Restaurant, food stall, and grand plaza can accommodate the influx of pilgrims.
Dates are bountiful.
Shopping is the normal habit to the pilgrims. I am no exception to this common behavior.
Even dates plantation accommodate outlet for the sale of dates and date products.
Kiosk for dates is everywhere and attractive.
In Malaysia RM2 shops are very popular and numerous. But in Mecca It is 2 Rial ( Saudi Currency ).
STARBUCKS COFFEE is no stranger in the holy city.
In Mecca shopping outlets are amazing, from street hawkers, small shop to huge mall.
You can buy toys for your kids or grand children in the pavilion.
