Detailed itinerary

1

Embark on a remarkable journey through the sacred landmarks of Madinah. From the heroic plains of Uhud to the blessed wells once touched by the Prophet ﷺ, this tour unveils stories of faith, sacrifice, and divine blessings that shaped early Islamic history.

2

Your first stop is Mount Uhud, the site of one of the greatest battles in Islamic history — the Battle of Uhud. Here, seventy noble companions, including Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib (RA), the Master of Martyrs, gave their lives for Islam. Experience the emotional connection to this historic battlefield where courage and faith were tested.

3

Next, we visit Masjid Al-Mustarah, also known as Bani Haritha Mosque, named after the tribe in whose area it stands. The Prophet ﷺ rested here after returning from the Battle of Uhud, making it a site of reflection and peace.

Masjid Al-Dira
We then head to Masjid Al-Dira, a small yet significant mosque associated with the Battle of Uhud. The name Al-Dira means armor, as the Prophet ﷺ is said to have worn his battle armor here while preparing for Uhud.

4

Your next stop is the Seven Mosques, located on the western side of Mount Sela’. These small yet spiritually significant mosques mark the area where the Prophet ﷺ and his companions dug the trench (Khandaq) to defend Madinah during the Battle of the Trench in 627 CE (5th year of Hijrah). Each mosque represents a station of faith and strategy during this historic event.
Lunch on your own.

5

We then visit Al-Ghars Well, one of the wells beloved by the Prophet ﷺ for the purity of its water. He drank from it, performed wudhu with it, and requested that his body be washed using its water after his passing.

6

Next, we stop at the Al-Faqir Well, historically connected to Salman Al-Farsi (RA). This was once part of his orchard, and the Prophet ﷺ himself blessed the well, which has since become a cherished historic site.

7

Al-Hajim Well & Date Farm
Continue to Al-Hajim Well, a landmark believed to predate Islam. It is narrated that the Prophet ﷺ drank from this well as well. The surrounding date farm adds a serene atmosphere, offering a glimpse into the agricultural life of early Madinah.

Souq Al-Kamasha
Before returning to the hotel, we stop at the Souq Al-Kamasha, one of Madinah’s oldest traditional markets, with a history spanning over 430 years. Stroll through the historic lanes filled with scents of spices, fabrics, and artifacts reflecting centuries of Arabian trade.

Return to Hotel
After a day filled with spirituality and history, return to your hotel in Madinah.
