I take it that you are allergic to knowledge and have a distaste for information and a phobia for wisdom. Is that correct
If you are stuck with lamentation, please keep it to yourself. I am not interested in sharing it with you. Thanks but no thanks.

For the first time in history, High-speed rail services was available to millions of muslim pilgrims who made their journey between the two Holy cities of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.

The ₦2.8 trillion (£6 billion) Haramain High-Speed Rail (HHR) service, launched after the 2018 Hajj pilgrimage, runs between Mecca and Medina, and passes through three stations: Jeddah, King Abdul Aziz International Airport and King Abdullah Economic City in Rabigh.



The high-speed trains are designed to travel at 300 kilometers per hour (186 mph) on electrified rails. It can cover the distance between the two Holy cities in just two hours, a road trip between the cities can take 5 hours during the normal period and 10 hours during Hajj.



There are 35 trains, each with 13 cars and 417 seats in two classes -- business and economy. The Haramain High-Speed Rail (HHR) line can manage about 60 million passengers a year. 

The hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam, is one of the world’s largest religious gatherings. This year officially drew 2.49 million pilgrims to Islam’s holiest sites in Saudi Arabia.

U are right, we spent about 8hrs from Madina to Makka though interior of their buses are better than most of our domestic aircrafts.
Surprisingly they have respect to Nigerians; we met so many buses parked for pilgrims verification before entering Makka but as soon as they see buses conveying Nigerians they will just order us to go!

Why are you thinking like that?
How can you be tapping electricity when you already have electricity in your apartment!?

That's just the Nigeria mentality.

I wonder, while these politicians go on these hajj don't they see all these tech advancements, and what their greed has cost this country.

rather they cone back and propose useless and archaic practices such as RUGA and old fashioned nomadism.

Did they see cows on the streets, beaches , airports, schools there ?

but their greed and land grabbing agenda wouldn't let them see all that.

nonsense and ruga

What happened to camel and horse or even legs? I though western education is 'Haram'
In your mind. One of the 10 first university in the world is Al-Azhar University located in Egypt. It's an Islamic university.
