The sacred places of Makkah & Madinah

The first House of worship established for mankind, raised by Ibrahim عليه السلام and Isma'il عليه السلام and the focal point of Tawaf.

Set in the eastern corner of the Kaaba; pilgrims kiss, touch or point toward it as each circuit of Tawaf begins.

The Station of Ibrahim, bearing his footprint, behind which two rak'ah are prayed after Tawaf.

The semi-circular wall beside the Kaaba; the area within is part of the Kaaba itself.

The space between the Black Stone and the Kaaba's door, where du'a is especially encouraged.

The two hills, now enclosed within the Haram, between which pilgrims perform Sa'i.

The blessed well that sprang for Hajrah رضي الله عنها and Isma'il عليه السلام; its water is drunk by pilgrims with du'a.

The mountain holding the Cave of Hira, where the first revelation came to the Prophet ﷺ.

The mountain whose cave sheltered the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه during the migration to Madinah.

The valley where pilgrims stay during Hajj; visited as ziyarat outside the Hajj season.

The open plain where Hajj pilgrims gather and spend the night between Arafat and Mina.

The plain and Mount of Mercy where the standing of Hajj takes place; a place of immense significance.
