Description

Begin your tour with a visit to Uhud Mountain, the site of one of the greatest battles in Islamic history, the Battle of Uhud. Learn about the battle and the seventy companions, including the Master of Martyrs, Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib, who were martyred here. Next, visit Bani Haritha Mosque, also known as Masjid Al-Mustarah. This is where the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) took rest once, during the return home from the Battle of Uhud. Then, head towards Masjid Al Dira, another small mosque linked to the battle of Uhud. The mosque is called al-Dira, meaning the armor or coat, because, as part of his preparations for the battle, the Prophet is said to have worn his armor (dira) right there. Continue to the Seven Mosques (al-Masajid as-Sab'a), located on the western side of Mount Sela'. These mosques are built on the known sites of troops stationed and monitoring sites of the battle in 627 CE. After lunch on your own, visit Al-Ghars Well, one of the wells favored by the Prophet (SAW) due to the freshness of its water. 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. The well is historically connected to the Prophet (SAW) and his companion Salman Al-Farsi (RA). Originally, it was a part of an orchard where Salman Al-Farsi used to work. Then, move to Al-Hajim Well & Date Farm. The well has also become a notable landmark for visitors keen to learn about the origins of Islamic history. However, it is believed to date back to before the advent of Islam. It was narrated that the Prophet (SAW) also drank from Al-Hajim. Before returning to the hotel, stop at the Souq Al Kamasha, one of the most important ancient and historical archaeological souqs. Historians have stated that the history of the market stretches for more than 430 years. After a short stroll, return to your hotel.
