2 hills inside the Great Mosque connected by a long gallery, part of the Hajj pilgrimage ritual.

Striking green dome covering the tombs of the Prophet Muhammad and several early Islamic caliphs.

👍👍 An awesome place to be for Muslims. Feel the serenity especially during prayer times. The experience is just beyond words, a totally different experience when compared to my other travels. Always missed this place now and wish I could be there again sometime soon Insha'Allah......

This mosque lies on the edge of Mecca & so is often used to put on Ihram during the Hajj.

Said to be a miracle created by God, this famous well is visited by millions of pilgrims every year.

Striking place of worship with twin minarets backed by rugged cliffs, the site of an ancient battle.

Well-known mountain featuring a hike to a cave that provided refuge for Islamic Prophet Muhammad.

👍👍 Masjid Areesh is built on the site where the tent of the Prophet (ﷺ) was pitched during the Battle of Badr. The battle was directed from here. Sa‘d bin Mu‘adh (رضي الله عنه) suggested that a shelter be built for the Prophet (ﷺ) to function as headquarters for the Muslim army. Areesh’ refers to the...

👍👍 Climate was very hot moreover tired but I finished the mountain end of the point and it is adventure trucking The best time to go is before shubuh to see the sunrise and to avoid the scorching sun.

👍👍 The first Ghazwa, the first Islamic battle. The Battle of Badr was the first large-scale confrontation between Muslims and the Quraysh. More than a thousand men engaged in the battle, which lasted hours and resulted in a decisive Muslim victory. Six years later, the Quraysh in Mecca peacefully surre...

👍👍 Don't be afraid of the climb. Steps are good enough all the way to the top. For someone that does no exercise or walking it took us 1 hour to get to the top. There is also a small Tuck Shop at the top. Don't waste your time talking with the many fake beggars along the way. Take plenty of water and c...

👍👍 The climb was not easy.. but alhamdulillah we made it. The cave is right on top. I will recommend every young muslim to visit this at least once in their lifetime

👍👍 Blessed Mountain and surrounding areas where the Holy Prophet saw walked on. Untouched and still in its original form. Was an amazing experience to visit such places still so real and raw. You don’t get such a feeling and connection from a photo. I highly recommend people to read and learn about the...

👍👍 Alhumdulilah I m literally feeling very blessed to visit here.. It is believed that the Prophet (pbuh), stood in this place when he arrived in Taif, hence why it is also called the Stop Mosque. It is also said that he leaned on a stone in the same place – the name “Al-Kou’” means “elbow”.

👍👍 Masjid Al-Madhoun also known as Qantara Mosque is a small Masjid in Taif which was built around 162 years ago. Opposite to this mosque is a farm where Prophet Muhammad (s.a) rested after he was expelled from Taif. This area is well known for its fruits at that time. People can climb up to the mina...
