I went to Hajj in 2005 with both my parents and to me it was the best "holiday" we ever had, i know i shouldnt call it a holiday but it was an experience of a lifetime and something that I will never forget, my father was lucky enough to go again this dec08-jan09 which was great for him....
there is no presure on you when perforimng hajj and also it fells like a huge weight is off your shoulders all teh tiem you are out there.
it is busy and time I was there was the time of the stampede which I didnt know about until we rang family back home in the Uk who were worried, it is the most organised place in the world and the saudis look after you very well
