Itinerary

1. Makkah Province

   Makkah is a city in the Hejazi region of Saudi Arabia. The city is located 70 km inland from Jeddah, 340 kilometers south of Medina. It is the birthplace of our Profit Muhammad (PBUH). Makkah is home to the Kaaba, one of Islam's holiest sites and the direction of Muslim prayer, and thus Makkah is regarded as the holiest city in Islam. In this 2-3 hours tour, we will cover all the Holy places of Makkah starting from Masjid-e-Nimra

   · Non-stop passage

2. Mina, located just a few kilometers east of Makkah, is one of the most significant sites in Islamic history. Known as the “City of Tents,” it is where millions of pilgrims stay during the days of Hajj. Mina is also the sacred place of the Jamarat (stoning of the devil ritual), symbolizing the rejection of evil. For visitors on Ziyarat, Mina offers a powerful reminder of faith, sacrifice, and unity, making it a meaningful stop for families and pilgrims alike.

3. Jabal-e-Rehmat

   Also known as Jabal-Ar-Rahmah or the Mount of Mercy, Mount Arafat is a hill in the valley of Arafat outside Makkah where Prophet (pbuh) gave his last sermon after completing Hajj. It is mandatory for pilgrims to leave Mina and reach Mount Arafat on 9th Dhu’al Hijjah and spend the day praying, doing Dhik’r and asking for forgiveness from Allah (SWT). Standing in Arafat is an essential part of Hajj and it is considered invalid if a pilgrim fails to reach here.

4. Muzdalifah is a sacred site located between Mina and Arafat, where pilgrims spend the night after the Day of Arafah during Hajj. It holds deep significance as the place where worshippers gather under the open sky, perform prayers, and collect pebbles for the ritual of stoning at Mina. For Ziyarat visitors, Muzdalifah offers a serene and spiritual atmosphere, reminding travelers of the simplicity, devotion, and unity of the Hajj journey.

   · 15 min

5. Jabal Thawr is a mountain on the outskirts of Makkah, famous for the Cave of Thawr, where the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and Abu Bakr (RA) took refuge during the migration (Hijrah) to Madinah. This sacred site symbolizes faith, trust in Allah, and divine protection. Visiting Jabal Thawr during Ziyarat allows pilgrims and families to reflect on the courage, patience, and unwavering belief that shaped Islamic history.

6. Jabal al-Nour

   Jabal al-Hira, located just outside Makkah, is one of the most revered sites in Islamic history. At its summit lies the Cave of Hira, where the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ received the first revelation of the Holy Qur’an through Angel Jibreel (Gabriel). This sacred mountain represents the beginning of prophethood and the message of Islam. For pilgrims, visiting Jabal al-Hira is a deeply spiritual experience, offering a chance to reflect on the Prophet’s devotion, worship, and connection with Allah.

   · 10 min

7. Masjid Jinn, also known as Masjid Haras, is built on the place where the Prophet (ﷺ) drew a line for Abdullah bin Mas’ood (may Allah be pleased with him) who had accompanied him after he had been commanded to recite the Qur’an to the Jinn. After Masjid Jinn our guide will go towards Masjid-e- Shajar, Masjid-e-Qamar, Jannat-al-Moulla.
