Jeddah
Jeddah is the airport most Pilgrims will arrive into Saudi Arabia
Makkah
Makkah is considered the spiritual center of Islam because it was where the Prophet Mohammed is said to have received his first revelations in the early 7th century. At its heart is the cube-shaped Kabah, built by Ibrahim and his son Ishmael, according to the Quran.
Kabah
The Kabah is a stone building in the court of the Great Mosque at Mecca that contains a sacred black stone and is the goal of Islamic pilgrimage and the point toward which Muslims turn in praying.
Mount Safa and Marwah
ocated in the long galley that is a part of Masjid Al-Haram, Safa and Marwa are two small historical hills which are connected to the larger mountains, Abu Qubays and Qaiqan in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Safa and Marwa are an integral part of the religious acts of Hajj and Umrah as Muslim pilgrims are commanded to walk between the two hills in order to commemorate Bibi Hajar’s (AS) commitment to her son, Prophet Ismail (AS).
Madinah
Madina, the sacred city of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the light of every Muslim’s life. It is the second holiest city in Islam after Makkah and is the place where Masjid-e-Nabawi is situated.
Quba
The Quba Mosque is a mosque located on the outskirts of Medina, Saudi Arabia. Initially, the mosque was built 6 kilometres off Medina in the village of Quba, before Medina expanded to include this village.
