3 days · 3 days

Day 1

Masjid Nabawi & Surrounding Area

Dedicate this day to the Haram area and its immediate surroundings. Start with Fajr at Masjid Nabawi and visit the Rawdah. After Fajr, walk to Jannat al-Baqi. Return for breakfast, then explore the nearby historic mosques on foot: Masjid al-Ghamama, Masjid Abu Bakr, and Masjid Bilal are all within 500 meters of the Haram. In the afternoon, walk north to Masjid al-Ijabah near Baqi. All sites today are walkable, so no taxi is needed.

Day 2

Quba & the Wells

Head south to the Quba area after Fajr at Masjid Nabawi. Walk the beautiful Quba Walkway or take a taxi to Masjid Quba. From there, visit the nearby wells: Bir Ghars, Bir Aris, and the Salman Farsi Dates Farm are all in the Quba vicinity. On the way back toward the Haram, stop at Masjid al-Jumu'ah. If time permits, visit Masjid al-Fadikh nearby. This is a Saturday-ideal day, following the Prophet's Sunnah of visiting Quba on Saturdays.

Day 3

Uhud & the Seven Mosques

Start early and take a taxi north to Mount Uhud. Visit the Martyrs Cemetery and Jabal Rumah together, spending at least an hour at the battlefield area. After Dhuhr, head to Masjid al-Qiblatain on the way back. Then visit the Seven Mosques complex (Masjid al-Fath, Salman, Ali, Umar, and Fatimah are all clustered together). End the day at the Hejaz Railway Museum near the Anbariyah area before returning to the Haram for Maghrib.
