Your trip begins when you arrive at Saudi Arabia's main airport, Jeddah International Airport. You will be taken to Madina by an air-conditioned bus where we will spend 8 days and 8 nights at a local hotel. During that time you will have the opportunity to perform your daily prayers in the Prophet's mosque (Masjiun Nabawi) where one prayer there is better than praying anywhere else in the world, except the Holy Mosque in Mecca.

You may also tour the city on your own prior to the start of the pilgrimage. We will visit historic battle sites and the first mosque built in Madina at the onset of the migration of Prophet Muhammad from Mecca. On the 8th day of Zhul Hijjah we will begin our journey to Mecca for the start of the pilgrimage.
