A Memorable Trip to Kenya
Mahad Ahmed
I took a memorable trip to Africa particularly Kenya. In April 2023, I traveled to Kenya where my family lives. I traveled with Qatar Airways to Nairobi and I had an hour and 30 minutes layover at Qatar airport. The Qatar airport had a beautiful design and people who were on duty in the airport were very welcoming. The airport staff helped maney people to get their gates on time. They also have put in place religious interfaith rooms in the airport. I like to travel with Qatar airways very much.
Arriving in Kenya at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport was a memorable time. There were friends who welcomed me at the airport. The friends had already prepared taxis at the airport before I came. We took a taxi to the downtown where the hotel was booked. In Nairobi, the weather was sunny and the sky was clear with a little cloudy. The town was bustling and hustling. I spent in Nairobi overnight. In that night, friends and I had a great dinner in one of the top star hotels in Nairobi. We have been served completely organic food like a mixed order of two big Rice and Ugali Palates with all deferent kind of meet in it. Meeting with friends and having laughter night moment was unforgettable.
Next day, I travelled to my home town district which is located in the northern Eastern Province of Kenya. I began travelling from Nairobi to Garissa by bus, and it took me eight hours and thirty minutes. I have been onboard for quite long hours but I was feeling very joyful and happy in my heart since I was hoping to meet with my beloved family. When I arrived our hometown Garissa, there were many people already waiting for me at the bus station including my children, wife, close relatives and old friends and hugged with everyone. Afterwards we headed to home cheerfully. One day, I went to the downtown to observe how things have been changed in my absence. I noticed that the Garissa town which is the the headquarters of the Northern Eastern of Kenya was developed enough. The areas of development included schools, huge tall business buildings, and roads. The best local foods were Ugali with Sakuma, Rice with different styles, various meet like roasted camel meet, Waslaad, Sukar, and soup. In your life, it’s sometimes very important to have special memorable trip to your own special area.
