Ziarah Tour from Makkah

Today we begin our Makkah Ziarah tour with a visit to Jabal Al Rahmah or Mount of Mercy located in Arafat. It is the site where Prophet Muhammad delivered his final sermon. Pilgrims gather here on the 9th of Dhu’al Hijjah during Hajj, spending the day in prayer and supplication. We then pass by Mina, the world’s largest tented city with a capacity of up to 3 million people. Mina is where pilgrims stay during Hajj and where Prophet Ibrahim was commanded to sacrifice his son Ismail. After Mina, we head towards Jabal Al Nour, also known as the Mountain of Light. It is located about two miles from the Ka’bah and is home to the Cave of Hira, a small cave where Prophet Muhammad received the first revelation of the Holy Quran in the month of Ramadan in 610 CE. This moment marked the beginning of the prophethood. We will reflect on the spiritual significance of each site before returning to the hotel.
