One comment, you can't do the prayers from your room and follow the imam, you can pray yourself but you can't follow the imam, you must be in a group and have continuous line of people in front of you untill the imam. و الله اعلم Must ask an imam to confirm

[@Refugee2LivingTheDream]

Selam, I asked multiple imams from the masjid and all said the following..... Recitation & posture movements are usually transmitted via audio apparatus. In the hotels large window(s) that give a clear view of the congregation are seen. Therefore, the ritual prayer is acceptable and valid if one follows the congregation from inside such hotels...... Allahu A'alam/Allah knows best

I love Anjum Hotel. The staff there are brilliant. The outdoor area for lounging relaxing is probably the biggest around the haram area. The best bit is the value for money.

Salam alikoum, Jazak Allah Khair. I stayed at Hilton Suites Jabal Omar during my Umrah last month. I wasn't aware that Hilton suites and Conrad Hotel shared the same mall. Thank you so much for pointing that out in your video. Does Corad have their own exit to the Haram? Or do they share with Hilton suites? I appreciate all your videos. They helped me determine which hotel to choose. Jazak Allah Khair

[@Refugee2LivingTheDream]

Selam Alejkum Ve Rahmetullahi Ve Berekatuhu, they have their own exit door which is located end of the mall. Area is not busy at all since there are just few shops near by. I know Hilton Suite area of the mall is really busy.

at 8:56 which hotel was on the left?

[@Refugee2LivingTheDream]

IHG InterContinental... Very old hotel I wouldn't recommend it

[@uppm9356]

Do we have to access to the Conrad by escalator? because my Mum is scared to use it. I laready booked the Swiss hotel Maqam for one week . I need one other week . Between the Conrad and the Hyatt Regency which one is the best?

[@Refugee2LivingTheDream]

No escalator needed for Conrad you can access it at main level of the mall. I can't comment much on Hyatt never stayed, but I can tell you Conrad definitely has better views of the Masjid from the room compared to Hyatt. InșAllah this helps

How strict are they at Conrad with head count per room? I have a standard room booked with 2 queen beds. We are a family of 5 (Husband, Wife and 3 kids aged 11, 9 and 6 year old). Diamond members as well. I booked the reservation with 2 adults and 2 kids because system was not allowing to book 1 standard room for 5 people.

[@Refugee2LivingTheDream]

No issues at all based on my experience. I typically booked mine with 2 adults ➕ 1 kid. Most Hilton hotels typically allow kids 12 and below stay free in the room.

Salaam Anyone who wants access to the executive lounge access then book the executive two queens beds. We booked the executive two queen beds room and on the room info it says breakfast and executive lounge access included. If you look at their website and look at rooms it also states executive two queens beds room includes the executive lounge access. I’m glad I saw this brothers video. Alhamdulillah booked this hotel.

If we get executive lounge access, do we still need to purchase buffet breakfast in our package? Do you think executive lounge cater for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

[@Refugee2LivingTheDream]

Executive lounge takes care of lunch and dinner for sure. Call them about breakfast they might give it to you for free.

[@SiddiquiSadia]

Salam alekum brother. Very nice and informative video. Can you tell me how could you stay in a room with 2 queen beds? On the website they say that only 4 people can stay in that room while I can see you guys are 5. Did they charge you extra money for the 5th person?

[@Refugee2LivingTheDream]

Selam Alejkum Ve Rahmetullahi Ve Berekatuhu, Our youngest is 3 so it was free. Kids below certain age are free. Call the hotel they can override the reservation to help you.

Selam, Executive Lounge can only be accessed if you have the Amex Hilton Aspire card or if you purchase a room with executive lounge access if offered by the hotel. Not all Hilton hotels sale executive lounge access.

Salaam, will they let 6 of us stay in the superior 2 queen beds? 2 adults and 4 children aged 11,9,4,4. I can’t add my twins as it gives me prince of a ridiculous 11k plus room. How strict are they with their head counts? Also I’m confused after seeing your video if I should bother getting breakfast or half board included as there seems to be a lot of food places.

[@Refugee2LivingTheDream]

Selam, I suggest getting a room with 4 single beds. Don't worry about the 4 Year old kids they stay for free. I know Hilton convention center has a room with 4 beds and large sofa that can sleep little ones with haram view. Also, try getting the executive lounge access they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner for free well worth it. InșAllah this helps.

JazakAllah for a quick response. Your videos are very informative MashaAllah. I have subscribed to your chancel and is looking forward to seeing rest of your videos. How do I get the executive lounge access? I’m checking on their website. It only shows me superior two queen beds that gives option of just room, room with with breakfast or breakfast and dinner.

[@Umar_1800]

I found Two Queen Bed Executive Room. If I book that room will it include the executive lounge access? It doesn’t mention anything on the room’s description and also gives me option of breakfast or breakfast and dinner.

[@Refugee2LivingTheDream]

No that's not it... It will say executive lounge. Call the hotel to confirm if you can purchase it? Some hotels doesn't offer it unfortunately. Are you looking at Conrad only or Hilton convention as well?

Yes every Friday Prayer and every night during Ramadan. No access for cars and folks have to walk just extra few mins to access not a major issue. It will be an issue if you are coming directly from airport to hotel. During those times.

[@dreadftw173]

Same vlogs over and over again won't get you any views. Make less videos but make them engaging. Script your vlogs. You can't even complete one sentence without fumbling, hence lots of jump cuts. Show a proper story instead of toilets and food. People can google these things but they can't google a vlog with emotionally engaging story. You are just wasting your time and other people's time who click on your videos with better expectations.
