I Spy Islamic Style Designs {Trip to Umra}

During Spring break, my family and I took a trip to Saudi Arabia to do Umra.  This was our first visit to the holly land, so we were all very excited.

Adorning the Ka’ba in gold thread

 I Spy……….Islamic patterns

I Spy……….Arabesque

Come to think of it, we did not receive that kind of welcome in Mecca? Hmmm….
