Muslims all over the world observe Eid-ul Adha (in Arabic) or Hari Raya Aidil Adha (in Malay) on the 10th day of Zulhijah, the last month of the Muslim calendar. The corresponding Gregorian date this year is on December 8th, 2008. This festival is celebrated in conjunction with the pilgrimages performed by Muslims, called the Haj and to commemorate Prophet Abraham's spirit of Qurban or sacrifice. Thus, Malaysia, Hari Raya Aidil Adha is also known as Hari Raya Haji or Hari Raya Korban.
Every time Eid-ul Adha always in my memory of my posting in Jeddah with our National Airline.We stay in Casa Blanca Apartment which have facility, a swimming pool .Just imagine how we go swimming in the middle of hot day.
1992-2008 Well 16 years, I miss you guy(those Haji in the above picture).If you guy happen to read this blog..please drop in a few words.
This is Hajj Terminal of King Abdul Aziz International Airport(IATA: JED).Perhap the most busy terminal in the world during Hajj season.The photo is from google image.
Our job at KAAIA in 1992 is a very challenging job as we handle all the incoming and out going of Haji from Malaysia.Those day every thing done manually and we have to work very closely with The Saudi Airport Authority,The Immigration Officer and The Airport Security.
Greeting to All my Muslim readers "EID-UL ADHA"
