Sami Zain, a Canadian wrestler of Syrian origin, documented scenes from his journey while performing Umrah ahead of his participation in the World Freestyle Wrestling Championship in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Sami posted photos from his trip to the Grand Mosque, his moments in the Haram and during Umrah, commenting that he could not describe his feeling in words.

"This work has given me a life full of amazing experiences that I will cherish forever, and this experience will come to the fore, thank God," he wrote in a tweet.
