December 20 – WELCOME TO MADINAH AL-MUNAWWARAH

Our journey begins in the City of the Prophet (saww). Upon landing at Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport (MED), our team will receive the group and escort you by private air-conditioned coach to our hotel, just steps from Masjid al-Nabawi.

After check-in and time to rest, we gather in the evening for our orientation session — a walkthrough of the Umrah rites, the etiquette (adab) of ziyarah, and the days ahead. We then make our way together to Masjid al-Nabawi for our first salaat in the presence of the Holy Prophet (saww).

December 21 – ZIYARAH OF MADINAH

We dedicate this day to the sacred sites of Madinah. In the morning, we present ourselves at Jannat al-Baqi, offering our salaams to the A'immah of Baqi (as) — Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba, Imam Zayn al-Abidin, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir, and Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (peace be upon them all) — and the noble companions and family of the Prophet (saww) who rest there.

We continue to Masjid Ghamama, then walk through the historic quarter of Mahalla Banu Hashim and visit Masjid Ali (as).

The afternoon and evening are yours — for personal du'a, recitation, and unhurried worship within Masjid al-Nabawi.

December 22 – THE LANDMARKS OF MADINAH

A full-day guided excursion through the living history of Islam:


Masjid Quba — the first masjid established in Islam, where the Prophet (saww) himself laid the foundation
Masjid al-Qiblatain — where the direction of prayer was turned toward the Ka'bah
The Seven Mosques (Sab'ah Masajid) — overlooking the site of the Battle of Khandaq
Mount Uhud — where we stand at the resting place of the martyrs and offer ziyarah to Sayyiduna Hamza (as), the Master of Martyrs


We return to the hotel in the evening to rest and prepare our hearts — and our luggage — for the journey to the House of Allah.

December 23 – MIQAT, THE JOURNEY & UMRAH

This morning we bid farewell to Madinah. En route, we stop at the Miqat of Dhul Hulayfah (Masjid al-Shajarah), where we don the ihram and make our niyyah for Umrah, our talbiyah rising as we travel.

We board the high-speed Haramain train to Makkah al-Mukarramah and check into our hotel near Masjid al-Haram.

That evening, under the guidance of our group scholar, we perform the rites of Umrah together: Tawaf of the Holy Ka'bah, the two rak'ats at Maqam Ibrahim, Sa'i between Safa and Marwah, taqsir, and Tawaf al-Nisa with its prayer.

December 24 – ZIYARAH OF MAKKAH & THE SITES OF HAJJ

Having completed our Umrah, we spend the morning tracing the geography of Hajj:

Jabal al-Rahmah in the plain of Arafat — the mountain of mercy and du'a
Mina and Muzdalifah — where the hujjaj gather each Dhul Hijjah
Masjid al-Khaif and the Jamarat

The evening is reserved for personal ibadah at Masjid al-Haram — tawaf, du'a, and quiet reflection before the Ka'bah.

December 25 – IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE PROPHET (saww)

Jabal al-Noor — we look upon the Cave of Hira, where the first verses of the Holy Qur'an descended
Jabal al-Thawr — the cave that sheltered the Prophet (saww) during the Hijrah
Masjid al-Jinn and Jannat al-Mu'alla — where we offer salaams at the resting place of Sayyida Khadijah (as), the Mother of the Believers

In the evening, we sit together for an open majlis and Q&A — reflecting on our Umrah, the lessons of the journey, and carrying its spirit home. Those departing perform Tawaf al-Wada, the farewell tawaf, at Masjid al-Haram.

December 26 – CLOSING CEREMONY

A final day in the shadow of the Holy Ka'bah. We gather as a group for our closing ceremony — du'as, reflections, and gratitude for the tawfeeq of this journey — with the remainder of the day free for final tawaf and worship.

December 27 – DEPARTURE

We check out of the hotel and travel together by private coach to King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED), Jeddah


Returning home: we bid you farewell at Jeddah with du'as for a safe journey and an accepted Umrah — hearts full, insha'Allah, and already longing to return.
