MOSQUE VISIT Day 4

MOSQUE VISIT Day 4

Al Safa 2, Dubai, UAE
28 July 2020



I did not visit the mosque alone today, I am walking/jogging with my wife Annie.
Our plan is to visit the mosques that I missed yesterday and that is 4 mosques with Al Safa 2 here in Dubai and that is approximately 4 km. distance.

Anyways...before I start my story I would like to thanks Idol Ella of FRU (Filipino Runners United) for a belt bag gift 2 years ago and I am using it now.

 

And also I found my 8 years old rubber shoes that I am wearing since yesterday, gives me comfort. I remember I am using this for my run365, wearing it daily. 

1st Mosque - Masjid Al Baraa Bin Azib

We reached this community mosque around 7:30 PM and the area is in dark, but still, I started to video the mosque as post light is my source of light.

Going to 2nd mosque we need to use Sikka - the small road in between residential area
(Sikka is the Arabic word for the small road). Sikka is too dark to pass thru since this the fastest way from Sheik Zayed Road side going to al Wasel & Jumeirah road.

Lesson learnt:
"Always bring a flashlight when running or walking at night, wear a light blinker and reflectorized running gears."



2nd Mosque - Masjid Rawda Al Abrar

Before reaching the 2nd mosque we passed by along Al Wasl Road towards Burj Al Arab, a residential area where most of the residents here are locals or British nationalities.

After a few meters, we reached the 2nd Mosque. One of the big mosques on this community, having a community park & restaurant beside her.

3rd Mosque - Jumaah Manara Masjid

Almost 830PM when we reached the 3rd mosque at community 357, Al Manara Area.

MOSQUE VISIT Day 03

Mosque Visit Day 03
Al Safa 2, Dubai, UAE
27 July 2020

I started to walk from my place towards to new mosque at Al Safa 2 near Noor Bank metro station, this along Sheikh Zayed road. This new mosque still under construction but it is almost finished, I think they will be opening this beautiful mosque this coming Eid Holiday, 30 August 2020. We didn't have a chance to passed by on this mosque last year as we are busy doing the running challenge on the other mosque.

My second mosque to visit is located on the other side of Al Safa 2, 14 St. Mosque that is her name, I don't know why they put the mosque name on google map. But anyway, this mosque was always visited by my fellow runner during RUNmadan, last year we visited this mosque and conduct a running challenge on the park beside and I remember the Macalinao family hosted that challenge.

I finished my 3 km walk for tonight's mosque visit. Hopefully next time I can visit more than 3 mosques.
