Detailed itinerary

1

One of the rare places to visit in Mecca is Jabal Thawr Makkah, located around 12 km south of the city, which is less frequented due to its greater distance compared to other holy mountains. Opt to visit this place which has special significance for Muslim pilgrims. Hike up the steep climb to reach the mountain’s summit and be rewarded with a panoramic view of the surrounding areas

2

Al- Haram Boundaries
Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) was the first one to set boundaries for Haram. Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) sustained the boundaries of Haram as per advised by Angel Jibrael (A.S). These boundaries were kept the same until Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W) sent Hazrat Tamim Ibn-e-Khazai (R.A) to rebuild the boundaries. And these boundaries were held at the same place. During the reign of Hazrat Umar (R.A), he appointed four Qurayshis to renew these boundaries.

reaching Mount Arafat gives pilgrims the greatest sense of fulfillment.
Mount Arafat, sometimes referred to as Jabal ar-Rahmah, is a mountain in Saudi Arabia that is situated southeast of Makkah. Muslim pilgrims depart from Mina for Mount Arafat on the ninth day of Dhul Hajj, when they stand and recite verses from the Holy Quran while keeping a thoughtful watch. The revered Prophet Muhammad PBUH gave his final lecture to the Muslims who traveled with him on Hajj at the end of his life on Mount Arafat.
