About This Journey

Leaving the City of the Prophet ﷺ, your journey south on Hijrah Highway (Highway 15) begins near the blessed Quba Mosque — the first mosque built in Islam. The highway runs through the heart of the Hejaz region, crossing open desert terrain before the landscape shifts as you approach the Mother of Cities.

Roughly midway, the route passes near Al-Juhfah Miqat — the designated point where pilgrims travelling from the west enter the state of Ihram. As you near Makkah, the road descends past Ghar-e-Soor (Cave of Thawr), the historic shelter of the Prophet ﷺ during the Hijrah. The journey concludes as you enter the most sacred city on earth.

💡 Best Time to Travel: Depart Madinah after Fajr (5–6 AM) to arrive in Makkah before peak midday heat. Alternatively, a post-Isha departure keeps roads quieter — especially recommended during summer months when daytime temperatures are extreme.
