Hajj & Umrah Reviews and Community

Salam alaikum! I’m in the process of writing a children’s book about Mekka. The book will be for muslim and non-muslim children to learn more about the kaaba, inshallah. I have a number of photos that some friends gave me from their recent Umrah, but I don’t have any with Zamzam in them. I would love to have one showing a child taking wudu with it, or a nice one with a grown up. It would be nice to have one showing the actual well, basically something which gives an uninformed reader an idea of how the whole thing looks (so maybe not too crowded).

I am also interested in any other nice photos you might share showing children in the areas of mekka/medina (in the mosques or otherwise). It is important that the pictures are not blurry and that the main people in them agree to them being published for this cause. They could be touched up for lighting problems etc though, and cut smaller etc.

If you or someone you know has photos which I might be able to use, I would be very interested. May Allah reward all those who may help, and I ask for your duas that this project can work. Thank you!
mintee- I’m working with real photos - there are lots of cartoonish books around about Islam, yes, but they don’t really make it seem real. Thanks for the tip about the bookstore, I’m also looking finto local publishers there in case you know appropriate ones (you seem to have some insight into the bookworld there). There seem to be few.

as for googling pictures - of course I have done that.And flikr etc. No luck.

Thanks!
