Stops along the documented Hijrah route
From Makkah al-Mukarramah to Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, every stop along the Hijra Walk carries meaning. Step into each.
The Sacred Heart — Day 1
Makkah
The journey opens in Makkah al-Mukarramah. On Day 1 we perform Umrah together and spend the day in ziyarat — Al-Aqaba Mosque, the homes of Khadijah ﷺ and Abu Bakr ﷺ, the walk to Al-Misfalah, and the climb of Jabal Thawr where the Prophet ﷺ took refuge during the Hijrah. The next morning the Hijrah Walk begins.

The Prophet's ﷺ Resting Place — Day 2
Umm Ma'bad
About 30 km south-west of Makkah, Umm Ma'bad is where the Prophet ﷺ rested at noon after leaving the cave of Thawr. It is here Umm Ma'bad gave her famous, beautiful description of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ — and where the miracle of the goat that gave milk in abundance took place. We pass through here on Day 2.

The Caravan Road — Day 2
Al-Juhfah & Al-Hamdah
Walk the milestone-marked old caravan road through several historic mountain passes — Thaniyat Kawthar, Kharar, Khadawat, Thaniyat Al-Marah and Thaniyat al-Damjah. We pass the place where Suraqah pursued the Prophet ﷺ and where the verse 'Indeed He who has imposed the Qur'an upon you will return you to a place of return' was revealed. Camp is at Al-Hamdah near Rabigh.

City of the Prophet ﷺ — Day 5
Madinah
From Al-Jithjathah we walk through Wadi Al-Aqeeq, Alzabyah way, Al-Hajeem and Harat Al-Osbah, arriving on foot at Quba — the first mosque of Islam — and entering Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah. The day closes at Masjid an-Nabawi, the Rawdah, and salam upon the Prophet ﷺ. The Ansar greeted the Prophet ﷺ here with Tala'al-Badru 'Alayna; arriving on foot lets you feel an echo of that welcome.
