The Hajj was an opportunity though to look deep into myself and rediscover my faith and maybe to recall its importance in my life. I learned again how to pray after I stopped for more than 25 years," says Dalia on her experience during the hajj. (AP Photo/Nariman El-Mofty)

But aside of that the most incredible part was seeing people literally from every single part of the world standing all together in formation making rakat, a prayer movement, all at once," says Sarah on her experience during the hajj.
