Besides the Haram, Makkah is full of places connected to the life of the Prophet ﷺ and the history of Islam. A ziyarat tour usually takes half a day.
Popular ziyarat stops
- Jabal al-Nour & the Cave of Hira — where the first revelation came.
- Jabal Thawr — the cave where the Prophet ﷺ sheltered during the Hijrah.
- Mina, Muzdalifah & Arafat — see the sites of Hajj and Jabal al-Rahmah.
- Masjid Ji’ranah — a Miqat for those making another Umrah.
- Masjid Aisha (Taneem) — the nearest Miqat for an extra Umrah.
Tips
- Go early in the morning to avoid the heat.
- Climbing Jabal al-Nour is steep — only for fit pilgrims.
- Our Makkah ziyarat is included in most packages.
