Edinburgh Tour for the khatam Al-Quran "out of town" participants

The khatam Al-Quran event was a success and as a symbol of gratitude, the Bruneian Edinburgh Society had organised a tour of the city of Edinburgh for the fellow participants from Newcastle, Durham, Aberdeen, Stirling and Cardiff. 

On the morning of 7th April, the tour kicked start with a short climb to Calton Hill. The group spend quite some time here, taking pictures and enjoying the view of Edinburgh City. Afterwards, the tour proceeded with a stroll along the Princess Street where the group made a visit to the Scott Monument. Around 1pm, the tour had a break so that the participants could perform Zuhur prayer and had lunch at the famous Mosque Kitchen.

 The tour continued with a trip along Royal Mile, part of Edinburgh's old town and headed towards the Edinburgh Castle. The tour stopped by a gift shop where the group bought some Scottish souvenirs as a reminder of their trip to Edinburgh. The tour ended over some tea and coffee at Black Medicine cafe. All in all, it was an enjoyable tour and we hope our fellow friends will come again soon.
