Find out about the events that took place here and their importance in Islamic history. Then, visit Mount Thawr (or Jabal Thawr), the mountain that contains the cave in which the Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sought refuge for three days and nights from the Quraysh, as they left Makkah and emigrated to Madinah. Next, spend 20 minutes at Jabal al-Nour and explore the cave of Hira, where the Prophet Muhammad received his first revelation. Delve into the history and spirituality of this location. Finish your tour with a visit to Masjid-Al-Jinn, a mosque with a unique history and religious importance. Discover the tales associated with this place and its importance in Islamic tradition before returning to your hotel.
