How do I remember places?

Dear valued sister, As-salamu `Alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!)

Welcome to Alukah Website.

It is well known that the ability to remember places is one of the gifts bestowed by Allah —the Almighty— to people disproportionately, and that is what educators call (Visual / spatial). It becomes more difficult for those who go somewhere without driving the vehicle themselves.

In fact, we all complain about the difficulty of remembering places, especially when we do not drive the car ourselves. Distraction plays an important role in remembering and it is very common, so it does not represent any morbid problem or need any treatment unless there is another escorting problem.

You can overcome this difficulty by training yourself for describing places, explaining how to get there, and practicing it with your friends in the form of an entertaining game.

With my sincere greetings and appreciation,
