Detailed Guide to Holy Ziyarat Places
No Umrah pilgrimage is complete without visiting the historic landmarks where early Islamic history unfolded. Our guided tours include visits to these sacred locations with local scholars.
Holy Ziyarats in Mecca:
- Ghar Hira (Jabal al-Nour): The mountain and cave where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) received his first revelation.
- Ghar Thawr: The cave where the Prophet (PBUH) and Abu Bakr (RA) took refuge during the migration to Medina.
- Jabal al-Rahmah (Arafat): The Mount of Mercy, where the Prophet (PBUH) delivered his farewell sermon.
- Mina & Muzdalifah: The sacred valleys where Hajj rituals take place.
Holy Ziyarats in Medina:
- Masjid Quba: The first mosque built in Islamic history. Praying two raka'at here yields the reward of an Umrah!

- Mount Uhud & Martyrs Cemetery: The historic battlefield and resting place of Hamza (RA) and the martyrs of Uhud.
