Ziyarat and tours

The places around the two Harams, visited with someone who can tell you what happened there.

Where we take you

Every package includes a guided day in each city. These are the places on that day, and why they matter.

A stone footpath winding up a rocky mountain at first light

Makkah

Jabal al-Nour and the Cave of Hira

The mountain where the Prophet ﷺ received the first revelation. We stop at the base; the climb is steep and takes an hour or more each way for those who want it.

White pointed arches and a shaded arcade in morning light

Madinah

Masjid Quba

The first mosque built in Islam, on the edge of Madinah where the Prophet ﷺ arrived from Makkah. Praying two rak’ahs here after wudu at home carries the reward of an Umrah.

  • The reddish slopes of Mount Uhud in early morning haze

    Madinah

    Mount Uhud and the martyrs’ cemetery

    Site of the Battle of Uhud, where the Prophet ﷺ was wounded and seventy companions were martyred, including his uncle Hamza. A quiet, moving place.

  • A whitewashed courtyard with geometric lattice screens at dawn

    Madinah

    Masjid Qiblatain

    The mosque of the two qiblas, where the direction of prayer was changed from Jerusalem to Makkah mid-prayer.

  • A wooden crate of fresh dates under palm shade

    Madinah

    The date farms

    Madinah’s famous ajwa dates come from farms on the city’s edge. A short, pleasant stop and the right place to buy them.

  • The courtyard of Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah

    Madinah

    The Rawdah, Masjid an-Nabawi

    The area between the Prophet’s ﷺ house and his pulpit, described as a garden of Paradise. Visits require a free digital permit booked in advance through the Saudi Ministry’s official app, by each pilgrim in their own account.

    Book the permit before you leave the UAE. If you have questions about the process, ask us on WhatsApp.

A Haramain high-speed train at the platform

Ziyarat is part of every package
