Hijrah Route: You won’t just read about the Hijrah, you’ll be part of it.

Cycling 60 Miles a day for 5 days: You will cycle an average of 60 miles a day, but you won’t do it alone.

CAMPING: You will camp for 2 nights in the desert, sit by the campfire, and enjoy freshly cooked traditional Arabian food. As you traverse the majestic dunes, the serenity of the desert will envelop you, offering a profound sense of peace and connection to the timeless landscape. The night skies, untainted by city lights, will unveil a tapestry of stars, guiding your thoughts back to ancient times. Embrace the stories of old as you journey along the same paths once walked by our ancestors.
Umrah and the beloved’s city: Along the way, you’ll visit key historical sites where the Prophet (PBUH) walked, guided by experts who will bring the Seerah to life with powerful storytelling around the campfire.

Then, after days of perseverance and reflection, you will arrive in Medina the City of the Prophet.
