Detailed itinerary

1

Mount Uhud is one of the most significant historical and spiritual sites in Madinah. It was the location of the famous Battle of Uhud, where the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companions displayed immense courage and faith. Visiting Mount Uhud allows pilgrims and families to reflect on sacrifice, resilience, and the lessons of Islamic history. The site offers a serene and contemplative environment, making it a meaningful stop for those seeking a deeper understanding of Madinah’s sacred heritage.

2

Masjid Qiblatain, meaning the “Mosque of the Two Qiblas,” is a historic and revered site in Madinah. It is famously known as the place where the Qibla (direction of prayer) was changed from Jerusalem to the Kaaba in Makkah by divine command. Visiting this mosque offers pilgrims and families a unique opportunity to connect with Islamic history, reflect on the evolution of worship practices, and appreciate the significance of obedience and faith in Islam.

3

Masjid Jummah, on the boundary of Madinah, marks the site where the Prophet (ﷺ) led the first Jummah salah, shortly after his Hijrah (migration) from Makkah. It is about 2.5 km from Masjid-e-Nabwi. Approximately one hundred Muslims participated in this first Jummah salah. Amongst them were the Prophet’s (ﷺ) relatives from Bani an-Najjar who had come to meet him and some from Bani Amr who had escorted him from Quba. After performing the Friday prayer, the Prophet (ﷺ) mounted Qaswa (his camel) and set off for the city of Madinah.

4

Masjid Quba is the first mosque ever built in Islam and holds a special place in Islamic history. Located just outside Madinah, it was established by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ upon his migration (Hijrah) from Makkah. Visiting Masjid Quba offers pilgrims and families a chance to pray in a sacred and historic mosque, reflect on the beginnings of the Muslim community, and experience the spiritual significance of this holy site.

5

The Seven Mosques or Sab'u Masajid is a complex of six small historic and often visited mosques in the city of Medina, Saudi Arabia. The complex consists of six mosques in spite of the name "Sabah" means "seven", because it included the Masjid al-Qiblatayn originally.

6

The Garden of Salman Farsi, also known as Hadikat Salman Al-Farsi, is located in Madinah, Saudi Arabia. It is named after Salman Al-Farsi, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad. Salman Al-Farsi is renowned for his contributions during the Battle of the Trench (Ghazwat al-Khandaq), where he suggested the strategic use of a trench around Madinah to protect it from enemies.

This garden is one of the historical sites in Madinah associated with his legacy and is often visited during religious tours and ziyarah trips.

7

After Garden of Salman Farsi, our Tour ends and our driver will drop off to your selected location within Madina city
