[@ExploreBeyondTheHorizon]

[@nazuddin6346]

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa barakatu dear brother Masha Allah Please Remember Me in your duas ❤

[@samansabeti6711]

Hi Juber is it safe even right now Jan 2024? I am doing Umrah next week for the first time and want to fly into Amman to go to Al Aqsa from there to be able to visit all three of the holiest sites in Islam inshAllah.

[@JuberAhmedTravel]

Salam brother - so yes, despite the war which is happening a distance from Aqsa and Jerusalem, Jerusalem remains safe to visit. I spoke to the general manager of a hotel in Jerusalem a few days ago to get an update and he mentioned that ts safe to visit. Many people are still visiting from UK, South Africa, Malaysia and the States. However, aside from El Al, not many airlines are flying into Tel Aviv as many airlines have cancelled their flights to the airport. So therefore, many people are having to go via Jordan. This video was obviously made in July so I spoke about Tel Aviv. I also know people that have just returned and whilst Aqsa is rather empty and local Palestinians are having a hard time getting into Aqsa, its safe for foreigners and visitors from around the world. I would say go now, as its empty right now and the locals appreciate seeing people coming from abroad to pray in Aqsa.

[@samansabeti6711]

Do you feel like your being watched all the time or does it feel like freedom when you are there ? Or the fear of what we see on the videos with the gaurds

[@sajapp0182]

Whilst waiting in tel aviv airport, the waiting area does it have toilets and wash areas for wuzu and area for salaat ?. Also do they separate the males from females during waiting, checks and questioning.

[@JuberAhmedTravel]

They have toilets and you have to just use the disabled toilet sink to do wudhu. And for Salat, there is no designates area. You have to just read where you wait, and there is no issue with that. We did that too. They do not separate males from females when waiting. You can all wait together. For questioning, they take you in separately and female questions females and males question males.

[@sajapp0182]

@JuberAhmedTravel thanks, What about older kids I.e 15, 16yrs age, do their parents go in with them when questioning?

[@zayankhurram1538]
