About this experience

We take you on a solemn journey through the key landmarks of the Battle of Uhud — a place where faith, courage, and sacrifice shaped the early Muslim community.

The tour begins at Masjid al-Mustarah, where the Prophet ﷺ rested, and continues to Masjid al-Dira‘, where he ﷺ put on his noble armor. You then visit Masjid al-Fash, before heading toward the majestic Mount Uhud, the mountain that “loves us and we love it.”

The journey includes Archers’ Hill (Mount al-Rumah), the strategic point where the archers stood, offering a powerful reminder of obedience and consequence.
It concludes at the Cemetery of the Martyrs of Uhud, where Hamzah رضي الله عنه and the honored martyrs rest, embodying the highest meanings of loyalty and sacrifice.

The tour also includes Masjid al-Qiblatayn, where the Qiblah was divinely changed — linking Uhud with another defining moment in Islamic history.
