Ziarah guided tour from Madinah

You will start by visiting the Uhud mountain. It was given this name due to its isolation from the surrounding mountains, so it stands separate from the rest of the mountains. At the foot of Uhud, one of the greatest battles of Islam, the Battle of Uhud took place. Seventy of the companions, including the Master of Martyrs, Hamza ibn Abdulmuttalib (RA), were martyred in this battle.Then move to Holy Masjid al-Qiblatayn, where the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) received the command to change the Qibla from Al Quds to Makkah. Then, you visit the Holy Quba Mosque (the oldest mosque in the world, dated to the lifetime of the Prophet; its first stones were positioned by him as soon as he arrived on his emigration from Makkah to Madinah). If time permits, attend Zuhr prayer.You continue to the Seven Mosques (al-Masajid as-Sab'a). These mosques are located on the western side of Mount Sela, where part of the trench was dug by Muslims in the time of the Prophet (SAW) to defend Medina, when the Quraish marched in with the tribes in the fifth year of Hijra (migration). These mosques are built on the known sites of troops stationed and monitoring sites of the battle in 627 CE. Each mosque’s name is linked to the conquest, except for al-Fatah mosque, which was built at the site of the dome (Qubba) of the Prophet. The mosques are in a row from north to south: al-Fathah, Salman Farsi Mosque, Abu Bakr Mosque, Umer ibn Khattab Mosque, Ali ibn abi Talib Mosque, Mosque of Fatima.
