When performing my Umrah with my sister and her family in March 2010, we were invited by my brother-in-law's acquaintance to visit a madrasah in the hills of Makkah. The lanes in this area are so narrow and steep that our taxi-driver wouldn't take us up (apparently, no taxi would). So he dropped us at the foot of the hills and we had to hire a local guy to drive us to the madrasah. It took a lot of skill and guts, as well as patience, to drive in this area. There was a lot of waiting by the side to make way for oncoming traffic, reversing and moving forward. An interesting and unforgettable experience!
