Description

Begin your tour by visiting Uhud Mountain, the site of one of the greatest battles in Islamic history, the Battle of Uhud. Learn about the battle and pay your respects at the graves of seventy companions, including the Master of Martyrs, Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib. Next, visit Bani Haritha Mosque, also known as Masjid Al-Mustarah. Discover how the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) took rest here during his return from the Battle of Uhud. Continue to Masjid Al Dira, another small mosque linked to the battle. Learn about its significance and how it got its name, which means 'the armor,' as the Prophet is said to have worn his armor here as part of his preparations for the battle. Then, visit the Seven Mosques (al-Masajid as-Sab'a), located on the western side of Mount Sela'. These mosques are built on the sites where troops were stationed and monitored during the battle in 627 CE. Learn about the trench dug by Muslims to defend Medina when the Quraish marched in with the tribes in the fifth year of Hijra. After lunch, continue your tour with a visit to Al-Ghars Well, one of the wells favored by the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) for its fresh water. Discover how the Prophet drank from the well, made wudhu with its water, and requested that he be washed using its water after his demise. Next, visit the Al-Faqir Well, historically known as the Salman Al Farsi Well. Learn about its historical connection to the Prophet and his companion Salman Al-Farsi, who originally worked in the orchard where the well is located. Then, move to Al-Hajim Well and Date Farm. Discover the well's significance as a notable landmark for visitors keen to learn about the origins of Islamic history. It is believed to date back to before the advent of Islam, and it is narrated that the Prophet also drank from Al-Hajim. Before returning to your hotel, stop at the Souq Al Kamasha, one of the most important ancient and historical archaeological souqs. Take a short stroll through the market, which has a history stretching back more than 430 years.
