Overview

We take you on a spiritual and historical journey through the early landmarks of Madinah — beginning at House of Kulthum ibn al-Hadm, the first home that welcomed the Prophet Sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem, and House of Sa‘d ibn Khaythamah, the gathering place of the early emigrants.
You then visit Masjid Quba, the first mosque founded upon piety, followed by the historic area of al-Masajid al-Sab‘ah.

The journey continues to the blessed wells connected to the Prophet: Well al-Faqir, Well Gars, Well Aris, and the serene Bustān al-Mustazill and Well ‘Edhq, where the Prophet personally planted palm trees.

At every stop, the spirit of Hijrah, sacrifice, and early revelation comes alive. The route ends with a moment of reflection at one of these blessed wells, allowing visitors to connect with the first light of prophethood in Madinah.
