An amazing experience made even more beautiful by the Sadat group. They were there to help at any stage of the trip. They explained things well and made the trip extremely joyous.

Umrah experience

We had the best Umrah experience with Sadat Hajj & Umrah. The trip was very well planned and the travel was hassle free. We received valuable advice and guidance from all the staff at Sadat in particularly the group leaders Syed Sajaad Shah Sahib and Syed Talha Shah Sahib, which was ideal for a first time Umrah trip. May Allah SWT bless the full team and fulfil their duas. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Sadat Hajj & Umrah are the best

Sadat Hajj & Umrah are the best. We completed Umrah with Sadat this week and the service was the best. The hotels were perfect, Shah Saab guided us through every step of the way and we was treated very well. The coaches were premium and they supplied an extra coach so passengers can be more comfortable. They also took us to extra places. Always use Sadat Hajj & Umrah.

Alhamdulillah what a beautiful experience with the company and presence of peer sajid sayyed Bukhari . Every journey and ziyarah was explained thoroughly. With the remembrance of our beloved Muhammad SAW. What an amazing group Alhamdulillah. They made sure everyone was looked after with peer Saabs presence on such a beautiful journey was an imaan boost. Definitely will again choose Sadat hajj and ummrah inshallah. Could not have asked for anyone better. Hotels and hospitality including coach transfers were amazing .

Credit where credit is due

Credit where credit is due - amazing experience all thanks to Shah Saab and their nephew Osama. Extremely hospitable at all times. Daily mehfils in Madinah Paak with naats, Urdu/English biyaans and duaa enhanced the experience all round. Highly recommend others to use Sadaat.

Group leaders were great

Group leaders were great, very helpful and very kind. My flight experience was not great which was with Turkish Airlines. I think Sadat team should avoid TK airlines. Overall experience with Sadat group was great and i would definitely recommend them. I whole heartedly thank them for my Hajj.

One of the best experiences I ever had with Sadat Hajj and Umrah group. Exceed my expectations, From booking my Umrah in October 2019 till I came back, help is always available. Hafiz Imran was really helpful and always answer any question I had when I was doing my booking. Shah Saab, Usamah, Hafiz and Naat Khaan Saab in the group were a bonus and blessed to be with them on this spiritual journey. Highly recommended.

I went to Umrah With Sadaat Hajj and Umrah and I loved it. Amazing experience, they took care of everything. It was well organised. Munawar Shah G was exceptional with his knowledge about ziyarats and Deen. I would recommend Sadaat Hajj and Umrah To anyone looking to go for Umrah.

To travel with Sadat Hajj and Umrah was a great experience. Syed Munaver Hussain (shah sahib) was really helpful, supportive and experienced and knowledgeable person. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking to go for hajj and ummarah. They were well organised from the booking, to hotel and to ziyarah. I travelled with my family which includes young children and older parents. They guide us all the way through and make our journey easy. They did explain history of each holy place which was really helpful for my children. Hotels were very beautiful and 2 minutes away from Kaaba. I am very thankful to them to make my journey very easy for me. I would highly recommend them to all. Thanks, Regards, Asia Sahir

Best experience

Best experience, amazing trip, truly spiritual and lots of knowledge gained through our guides. Step by step information given at all times, stayed with group all through the journey and most of all while we performed umrah they stayed with us reciting and telling us what to recite too. First time going and was very worried and was 6months pregnant too but Sadat made it pleasant and sress free. Would defo recommend them, as usual when someone goes to a new place then research is important so would recommend reading upon the holy places and history too as it would be beneficial.

Date of experience : 15 June 2019

This was a journey of a lifetime which I will never forget. Sadat travels did an amazing job from the booking process and sorting our needs out. I was updated by email everytime during the process. It was our first time going Umrah and they educated us on everything you need to know about it. They took us on ziyarahs in Makkah/Medina and we learnt the history of our religion. Through this experience we met some amazing people in our group. Thank you to Osama Syed Shah and Pir Syed Munawar Shah for sharing your knowledge with us.

ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ

ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ I booked my first Umrah with Sadat Hajj & Umrah between the 15 Nov – 26th Nov with my mother. Alhamdulillah from start to finish this journey was the most pleasant and memorable experience in my life. Every Muslim desires and yearns to go to the blessed lands in itself and I can confidently say it was ever so satisfying under the supervision of Pir Syed Sajid Buhkari Saab They broke everything down step by step in order for the group to complete their Umrah and upon completion of Umrah took us too many iconic Ziyaarts across Mecca, on our transit to Medina and Medina paak. Each Ziyaart visited consisted of detailed speeches upon the importance of these landmarks with Pir Syed Sajid Buhkari Saab praying Naats and sending salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ on our travels Ultimately, I cannot thank Pir Syed Sajid Buhkari Saab and the boys in the office enough upon the service and experience they provided us! May Allah bless them eternally insAllah Ameen

Well planned trip

Well planned trip. Travel was relatively straight forward and hassle free. Direct flight to Jeddah from Manchester made trip convenient. Good advice and guidance from all support staff. Ideal for a first time Umrah trip. Highly recommend.

Great experiance once again

We just got back from the Dec 2022 group visit, I have to say the experiance was great once again. This our second time with Sadat Travel and inshaAllah we hope to go again soon. They were very helpful from start to finish and deserve more than 5 stars for such an excellent service.

Amazing Experience - Highly Recommend

I went to umrah with my family in September 2022 and had the most amazing experience ever! Our guide was Pir Syed Sajjad Bukhari who was an exceptional guide with abundant knowledge. We were well looked after and our hotels were in excellent locations. My only piece of constructive feedback would be that it would be useful if pilgrims were provided with a schedule/guide of the trip which outlined what dates we were going to travel from Makkah to Madinah and the dates on which we would be going to travel to see the ziyarats and a list of ziyarats we can expect to see.

Sadaat Travel: Reviews

Fantastic experience: Amazing service! First trip with Sadat Travel & it was straight after covid. Booked our tickets with Syed Amar Shah, from the booking until coming back to the United Kingdom I had the best days of my life. Gained soo much knowledge & got soo many duaa’s from Syed Munawar Hussain Shah Bukhari sahib. Hafiz saab at makkah & madinah were soo useful as they gave us all the help we needed as a young couple. Very humble travel agency to travel with. Inshallah will be going with shah sahib. May Allah swt protect them and accept their service.

Fantastic experience: First time experience brilliant agents, had an excellent experience in the holy month of Ramadan. They had staff available 24/7 to assist in case of any queries or issues. Definitely recommend if travelling for Hajj or Umrah. Very competitive and very organised.

Amazing experience

Alhamdulillah competed our umrah as a family group of seven. The hotel locations in both Makkah and Madinah was amazing, literally few minutes walk. We completed two umrahs with Pir Syed Sajjad hussain and the group. Pir saab was very knowledgeable, friendly and extremely approachable. Help and guidance was available at every step of the way. This was our first time going to Umrah and it has been a memorable experience. I would definitely travel with sadat travels again. I pray Allah accepts all our Umrah and the effort taken by the group.

Date of experience : November 09, 2023

Very well organised

Very well organised. Always on hand to solve our issues and great knowledge. I would recommend to first timers. The Ziyarats were filled with knowledge and no one would be left behind. Timings were punctual and coaches were never late.

Date of experience : February 21, 2024

Alhamdulillah

Alhamdulillah, with the grace of Allah Almighty I have completed my first umrah trip with Sadat Travels. The umrah trip exceeded all expectations, and i am so grateful that I was able to experience this trip with Pir Sajjad Shah Saab. They were attentive, very knowledgeable, and took care of all our needs. I thoroughly enjoyed the ziyarats and felt that the trip was well organised. I look forward to returning in’sha’Allah and will most certainly book with Sadat Travels in the future.

Do not trust the reviews.

Do not trust the reviews. I recently travelled with this company and was initially apprehensive due to the price. However upon reading the reviews I decided to give them a chance in the name of Allah. How wrong was i This trip was poorly organised. Having taken groups on 4 different days. The Ziyaraats were horrendous, little to no knowledge on the historical sites. Far too many people in the group making it impossible to hear anything at all. The coaches were crammed, the speaker volume was low. Far too much chit chat was being said over the speaker, leaving alot of people just zoning out. Certain ziyaraats were being skipped due to timing issues where by we were told as we had passed the sites. Again not much information was given on them. In medinah the hotel was horrendous, appalling beyond belief. Yet no care was given despite the amount of money being taken from this company. The individuals leading this tour were constantly holding themselves in such high regard. No humility between any of them, leaving the older man to do their skivvy jobs. Not checking in with their groups, making themselves appear as some what of celebrities. Be humble please!! We are all the same infront of Allah. One of the individuals was extremely rude in his speech and demeanor, a huge turn off. Making me feel ashamed to be part of the Pakistani community. Considering how much money was taken from this group there was zero care given by them. They simply acted as a means to an end. They even had the cheek to ask ALL the males travelling to write a review and screenshot it and send it to them. Making them biased and leaving people feeling the need to write a positive review. The reason why most individuals travel with a tour group is to gain knowledge and to be led. This group failed in both aspects.

This was my third time going

This was my third time going. The best of all my visits. Really fortunate I got my moneys worth with the emir. Ironically, I feel much more confident going on my own. The others in the group were very nice people. No issues. I think the women alhamdulillah managed their families really well including the adult men. I got a lot from this journey. Alhamdullilah really happy. Theirs more things I want to experience there, I’ve realised now. Will discuss this shahji soon so he can guide me.

Travelled with them this week have been given an exceptional experience and have given full support from beginning to end of the Umrah trip Alhamdulillah. Very fast responses and a full team to help out day and night. Special thanks to Pir Sajjad Bukhari.

January 2024 Umrah

Pir Syed Sajjad Bukhari made my first Umrah worthwhile through the zayarats, the completion of Umrah and all the information that we were provided with alongside the support of the other tour guides. In'Sha'Allah I will be coming with them again.

Umrah Jan 2024

Overall, the experience was worthwhile, and even though it was my first Umrah, Pir Syed Sajjad Bukhari helped guide me the entire time. He described all the procedures that needed to be followed in order to complete the Umrah, and the zayarats made the process more straightforward allowing us to visit each and every place and being able to experience it. I now know a great deal more than I did previously. If I return, in’sha’Allah, I shall come with Sadat Hajj and Umrah. Also, Syed Talha Shah's speeches were easy to understand as we were given English translations so if we weren’t able to understand the Urdu translations we were also explained in English. We gained new knowledge every day that allowed us to increase our understanding making the experience more enjoyable.

Umrah Jan 2024 - Amazing experience

It was the first time I have been to perform Umrah with my family and I 100% recommend Sadat group. Special thanks to Pir Syed Sajjad Hussain Shah Bukhari for always being informative and responding to any questions at all times. Pir Syed Sajjad Hussain Shah Bukhari made the trip a memorable experience. A lot of information was provided during the ziyraats and the information allows you to understand the importance of each place visited. The hotels in both cities were at walking distance to the Masjid and the hotels were modern, with great breakfast. Ahmed Raza was another key member who deserves a thank you as he was available at all times to attend to any questions and provided good information about products that were available in Medina. I would 100% use Sadat group again in the future inshallah and recommend this group to others

Would highly recommend Sadat Travel

Would highly recommend Sadat Travel. This was our first Ummrah and they made it very memorable and ensured we didn’t miss any of the significant and historical sites we hold so dear. Pir Bukhari Saab and his son Usama were very helpful and no question was too much. They are both very likeable and easy to get on with. They ensured the whole journey went very smoothly and was extremely enjoyable. I can’t wait to book my second Ummrah with them inshallah.

First umrah trip and I was really nervous about not getting things right and also had my children with me but I can honestly say pir sahib sayed sajjad bukhari and his son usama bukhari made everything so easy they looked after us as we performed umrah in the holiday rush and we have visited so many important sites and learnt so much. both English and urdu speakers were on hand amazing I will be coming back with them next time .

Sadat Travel Group…

My experience with Sadat Travel Group was extremely pleasant, it was mine and my family’s first time performing umrah and the group guided us the entire time. We performed a total of 2 umrahs during our stay and went on many ziyarats. I have gained loads of knowledge and learnt a lot about the Islamic history during my stay. The group made sure we made the most out of our time in Makkah and Madinah. I can’t recommend this group enough :)

Syed Sajjad Shah saab was a very kind, approachable and knowledgeable host, may the almighty give him the best of health to carry on this beautiful work and keep taking pilgrims to the blessed lands. InshaAllah when we are called again to hajj or umrah we will only be using Sadat travel.

A really great ummrah experience overall, the guide Syed Sajjad Shah Bukhari and his team were always on hand to help and assist. We did our ummrah collectively as a group being guided stage by stage. Our hotels were to a good standard and located close by. The ziyaaraat were especially enjoyable with Shah Sahib, he has vast experience and is very well informed. Well recommended

A very majestic experience

MashAllah we travelled with 9 family members and the whole experience was top notch and amazing. The ground staff are very supportive and always available at all hours. The location for the hotels was spot on and the transport to and from the airport was also very good. The whole operation was very well planned and an incredible experience. Syed Sajjad Shah Sahibs company and knowledge was majestic. Shah Sahib themself were hands on and very approachable. 10/10 for everything I would inshAllah always travel with Sadat travels in the future. Jazakallah Khair for everything

Would highly recommend

My entire family of 31 people (mashallah) booked an Umrah package for 19th Dec 2023. Pir Syed Sajjad Bukhari advised and guided us throughout our visit and I found him to be very knowledgeable and inspiring. I learned so much from him. I do need to say a special thankyou to Usama Shah Bukhari as he helped us from the time of booking, travelled with us and explained all ziyarahs in English. He was readily available for any questions we had, as this was our first time, his support was invaluable. He is very knowledgeable and invokes so much love for the Prophet (saw) through his stories. We stayed an Anjum Hotel in Makkah. The hotel was 5min walk to the haram and was ideal, away from the congestion of the clock tower. The breakfast was lovely and rooms were nice and clean. In Madinah we stayed in Shazza Regency and although the location and rooms were lovely, the breakfast was not. Overall my experience with Sadaat was amazing and I would highly recommend anyone looking into Umrah to travel with them. Especially if it's your first time. Thankyou Sadat for providing my family with such a memorable and spiritual experience

Saudi Arabia: Any visa holder can now perform Umrah

Pilgrims encouraged to utilise Nusuk app to obtain Umrah permit, adhere to ritual timings

Cairo: Saudi Arabia has announced that individuals holding various types of visas are now permitted to undertake Umrah, the minor pilgrimage, with ease.

“Arrivals from anywhere and with any visa can perform Umrah with ease and comfort,” the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said in an X post.

Get exclusive content with Gulf News WhatsApp channel

The ministry emphasized that Umrah rituals are accessible to holders of all visas, including personal, family, transit, labor, and e-visas.

“Whatever the type of your visa, you can do Umrah,” it added.

Pilgrims are encouraged to utilize the Nusuk app to obtain an Umrah permit and adhere to designated timings for the rituals at the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Islam’s holiest site.

• First Iran group in nine years heads to Saudi Arabia for Umrah pilgrimage
• Saudi Arabia sets deadline for Umrah pilgrims to depart kingdom
• Saudi Arabia launches multilingual call centre ‘1966’ for pilgrims
• 12.5 million used Saudi Arabia’s airports via 86,000 flights in Ramadan

The Nusuk platform facilitates various procedures, including accommodation arrangements, for Muslims planning to perform Umrah and visit Medina, Islam’s second holiest site.

In recent months, the kingdom has introduced a host of facilities for overseas Muslims to come to the country to perform Umrah.

These initiatives aim to accommodate millions of Muslims worldwide who undertake Umrah, especially those who may not be able to participate in the annual Hajj pilgrimage due to physical or financial constraints.

Recent enhancements include extending the Umrah visa duration from 30 to 90 days, allowing entry via all land, air, and sea ports, and eliminating the requirement for women pilgrims to be accompanied by male guardians. Additionally, expatriates in Gulf Cooperation Council countries and holders of Schengen, US, and UK visas can now book Umrah appointments via the Nusuk app before arriving in Saudi Arabia.

Good first experience.

It was my first ever trip to perform Umrah. Overall I was happy with my experience. Hotels in Mecca and Madina were next to the mosques. The Ziyarats felt rushed and felt disappointed we couldn't climb Jabal al Nour and pray in cave Hira. The mehfils would of been great in the grounds of the mosque rather than the hotel. But overall I was happy with my experience.

Excellent group to go with for umrah…

Me and my family had a very good experience with Sadat hajj and umrah especially with syed munawar hussain bukhari, who is very knowledgeable and he went out of his way to make sure we got the most out of our trip. There was 10 of us family members it was our first umrah. My children found it beneficial as well and gained knowledge and experience. My youngest daughter is 8 and even she enjoyed it. The group made sure all information from ziyarats was translated in English for my children so they can understand too. We managed to do 2 guided umrahs with the group. And visited many holy mosques and other holy sites and was explained the history of them in detail. The quality of their talks is of a high standard and I would highly recommend.

Umrah August 2023

Alhumdolillah a brilliant and humbling experience travelling with Sadaat Hajj & Umrah with my family on the August 2023 group. Absolutely amazing people. Brilliant leadership shown by Pir Syed Munawar Shah Saheb who along with Pir Syed Sajjad Shah Saheb really helped us, supported us and guided us in both Makkah and Madina Sharif. We had regular mehfils and could reach out and contact the group leaders 24/7. You will not find a better group to travel with. Great Management, always meet you with a smile. For anyone thinking of going Umrah, go with the best, go with Sadaat Hajj & Umrah.

Salaam, just want to share my experience with Sadat travel! It's been a great experience travelling to Umrah with Sadaat Group in August 2023. We have been taken care of, very informative, they do go the extra mile to look after you. ALL ziyarats were done in Makkah and Medina Sharif and we could at any point ask any questions that we had. A truly enjoyable experience and would not hesitate to travel again with Sadaat Hajj & Umrah

Sadat Hajj and Umrah

Me and my mum are having one of the most amazing experiences ever. From the onset of booking the Umrah packages to having all my questions answered and the overall experience is great. The entire team were really supportive, regardless of when we contacted them. Pir Syed Sajjad Bukhari is very approachable , very understanding and makes the whole experience magical. I would highly recommend going with Sadat if you are looking to go for Umrah and you will not be disappointed. Inshallah we will be going with them again in the future. The Ziyarat’s were explained in English and Urdu which made it easy for all. Jazakallah Khair for everything

Alhamdu lillah completed my umrah with pir syed sajjad shah sahib, he was helping all the group throughout the trip and with the ziyaraats. Also pir syed munawar hussain shah sahib poured some light from his vast knowledge on each ziyarat and I would definitely go again with them and recommend them to anyone who is planning on going especially if it's your first time, you will learn alot and those who have been before you will also benefit. May Allah subhanhu wa taala give them the tawfeeq to carry on helping others on this blessed journey and make them a guide for us in this world and the next. Ameen

Amazing experience!

Second time going with Sadat Hajj & Umrah, in this scenario you may expect it to be very similar to the first time you go with them, however it is far from being a reality. The experience was so beautiful, it didn't feel repetitive and I learnt so many things from the first visit and now even more things from the second visit. The leaders had a fine balance to help with an Urdu and English speaking audience. 5/5 will recommend, will be visiting with them again insha'Allah.

We had an amazing experience with Shah Jee. From the moment we joined the journey, everything was well-organized and seamless. 5* rating No complaints. Would happily use again and recommend to friends and family. Very honest people who take great care to manage expectations so that you don't end up disappointed. Group leaders were excellent and spiritual reminders were very well delivered. The whole group felt like a big family. The hotels were as described with great service, clean rooms and excellent breakfast. I highly recommend Sadaat Travel for a fulfilling and memorable pilgrimage.

What an experience

What an experience. Amazing host Sajjad Bukhari. No request was too small. Excellent service, quality accommodation and breakfast, brilliant planning logistics. Highly recommended by us. The ziyarats were amazing Definitely going back inshallah with Bukhari saahab.

My experience with Sadat Travels

My experience (Particularly with Syed Munawar Hussain Bukhari) with the Sadat Travel Group allowed to my Umrah to be a magical experience in which the event was incredibly detailed and thorough. It was obvious the group put much thought into the welfare and interests of the group. After completing a total of two expertly guided umrahs with the group, we began our embark to Madinah the blessed land of our prophet (pbuh). Here at Medinah the travel groups standards did not indeed drop, the quality of their talks and enthusiasm remained even after the umrahs completed. We had a joyous week in medinah in which they took us to various mosques and held a mehfil every evening up to an hour. Would strongly recommend to anyone considering going to Umrah to travel with Syed Munawar Hussain Bukhari from Sadat Travels.

Umrah trip September 2022

Mashallah such a good trip I had with my family my kids absolutely enjoyed it. We have travelled with Pir Syed Sajjad Bukhari many times but this time was special he explained every single detail respectfully and it was very understandable. The ziyarat were amazing. Alhumdulillah I have been many times but I learnt many things about the Hadith ect. Definitely would recommend for families who would want a nice caring group and a humble and peaceful trip. -Mehwish Fida-

Seriously this is the group who gives you value for money

I strongly recommend any one who wants to do hajj or umrah to go with Sadat. Why you ask because they do the most difficult job not many can do and that's meeting everyones needs and helping them perform and complete Their umrah. They definetly go above and beyond by taking you on all ziyarats. They will guide and help all the way. It's very hard pleasing over 70 people per umrah but they definelty did and this is not an easy task. What I liked about this group is that at the end of our umrah they came to the airport themselves awaited till we were all cleared and went through security they waited. Now that is definitely going above and beyond.

Sadat are fantastic and honest travel group

Syed Munawwar Hussain Shah Bukhari Sahib was an excellent group leader and an excellent Tour guide during Umrah trip with Sadat travels. Me and my family are very impressed with their services. Shah Jee was always available whenever I called him or when I needed, he was always there to help and assist me. I strongly recommend anyone who wants to go for Umrah to contact Sadat travels. They will give you honest and trustworthy advice throughout your trip. insha'Allah in the future, I will continue to go for Umrah or Hajj pilgrimages with Sadat travels.

Umrah Aug 2023

Alhamdulillah! First Time for us as a family to these blessed lands and with Sadat Hajj & Umrah Travel, Insha’Allah not the last.. Had an amazing experience couldn’t have asked for a better guide to come with & Alhamdulillah we had the blessing of having Pir Syed Munawar and then Pir Syed Sajjad, as well as, Syed Talha Shah. Very very insightful and vast knowledge - an eye opener! Very Informative and Spiritual journey - if we came on our own we would have never done as much as what we have done in these last 14 days. Alhamdulillah! We didn’t come for food or shopping so didn’t have high expectations of that… but for Ibadaat and Ziyarat and knowledge provided, as well as, management being there as and when needed - they were like our own family - exceptional! Thank You, Abbas

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
