Today we depart for the Makkah Ziarah tour, beginning with Jabal Al Rahmah (Mount Arafat), where Prophet Muhammad (SAW) delivered his final sermon during Hajj. Pilgrims gather here on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah for prayer and forgiveness. We then pass through Mina, the world’s largest tented city, where pilgrims stay during Hajj and where Prophet Ibrahim was commanded to sacrifice his son Ismail. Next is Jabal Al Nour (Mount Hira), home to the Cave of Hira, where the first revelation of the Holy Quran was received in 610 CE. The tour continues through Muzdalifah, the Jamarat area, and visits Masjid Al-Jinn, Masjid Al-Fath, and Masjid Al-Khaif. We also view Jabal Al-Thawr, where the Prophet sought refuge, before a brief stop at the old cemeteries and return to the hotel.

Our day begins in the Hira District, home to the sacred mountain where revelation began. We first visit the Revelation Exhibition, a remarkable cultural landmark located beside Mount Hira. This exhibition is dedicated to the story of divine revelation and its connection to Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). Through immersive displays and interactive exhibits, visitors experience the powerful moment when Angel Jibreel (AS) revealed the first verses of the Holy Qur’an to the Prophet (ﷺ) in the Cave of Hira.
Next, we explore the Museum of the Holy Qur’an, the first of its kind in Makkah. This museum beautifully showcases the greatness and preservation of the Qur’an, highlighting its influence on Muslim civilization across centuries. It features ancient Qur’anic manuscripts, rare artifacts, and modern digital exhibits that allow visitors to witness the divine message through history.

- Review from Viator
2.00The guide doesn't speak fluent Arabic. Also there is no enough information & knowledge about islamic history in Makkah. They didn't arrange reservations for many places & as expained in the tour guides. They asked us we should have made pre-reservations for some places. I don't recommed this tour ar ALL. The price is verrrry high comparing to what you get from this tour.
