Your experience

Begin at Mount Uhud, where the Battle of Uhud took place and 70 companions, including Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib (RA), were martyred. Continue to Bani Haritha Mosque, also known as Masjid Al-Mustarah, where the Prophet (SAW) is said to have rested on his return from the battle. Visit Masjid Al Dira, associated with his preparations for the battle.

At the Seven Mosques near Mount Sela, learn about their connection to the Battle of the Trench in 627 CE. Lunch is on your own.

Continue to Al-Ghars Well, whose water was favoured by the Prophet (SAW), and Al-Faqir Well, historically known as Salman Al-Farsi Well. Visit Al-Hajim Well and the date farm; the well is believed to predate Islam and is also associated with the Prophet (SAW).

Before returning to your hotel, take a short stroll through Souq Al Kamasha, a historic market whose history is said to span more than 430 years.
