Ziyaras in the Holy Land Mecca and Madina

Question:

Assalamu alicum Sheikh. InshAllah planning to go for Umrah.

During your visit, you went to many holy places….is there a way to get those names and address ( the best you can recall) so i may have the chance to visit them as well?

No pressure if you cant remember them all.

Salam
