The Hijrah Trek 2025 following the footsteps of the prophet (pbuh) 3rd - 16th Nov 2025 Makkah to Madinah Hijrah Route Challenge
Embark on an extraordinary journey following the Hijrah route once traversed by the greatest man to have ever lived, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This spiritually enriching and physically demanding challenge aims to replicate the Hijrah journey as closely as possible. With the guidance of knowledgeable sheikhs and local experts, we will trek through the desert, camp under the stars, and reflect on the experiences of the Prophet (PBUH) and his companions.
Combining the essence of history, spirituality, and fitness, this challenge seeks to inspire Muslims worldwide to embrace a healthier lifestyle while spreading the message of peace and unity.
Key Features of the Journey:
Experience the desert: Part of the trek will be done using camels to emulate the original journey.
Support team: A local crew will assist with 4×4 vehicles, cooking, and camp setup.
Spiritual immersion: The journey will include prayers, reflections, and guidance from our esteemed sheikhs.
Journey Itinerary
Makkah Day 1: Perform Umrah
Day 2: Ziyarat of historical sites in Makkah
Day 3: Begin the trek
Trekking and Camping
Day 4–11: Trek through the desert, camp under the stars, and reflect on the resilience and faith of the Prophet (PBUH) and his companions.
Madinah Day 12: Arrive in Madinah and check into the hotel
Day 13: Ziyarat of historical and spiritual landmarks in Madinah
Day 14: Depart for the UK
The first team from UK to walk the Hijrah route from Makkah to Madinah, covering 550 km in 16 days, to follow the route that our beloved Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) took when he made Hijrah over 1400 years ago. We came up with the idea to walk in his footsteps for not only spiritual reasons but one that would encourage Muslims to lead a healthy lifestyle and hopefully convey to the world Islam’s universal message of peace.
We hope to start from Makkah and follow the Hijrah route. We aim to complete the challenge under two weeks with the help of our local guide and knowledgeable sheikhs. We will be camping in the desert to somewhat experience the feelings and reflections the Prophet (SAW) and his companions had.The trek will be one of the most challenging elements but also rewarding. We hope to replicate the journey as much as possible and also use camels for part of the journey. We will be identifying landmarks and locations of where verses of the Qur’an were revealed. We will have 4×4 vehicles for support and a local team to take care of cooking and setting up our tents at the end of each day’s journey. By amalgamating the challenge with a spiritual and historical flavour, we can inspire Muslims around the world to take up sports and fitness and spread the message of peace and unity.
During our journey, we were inspired by the dedication and passion of individuals who have meticulously studied this sacred path. Two such individuals we were fortunate to meet was Dr. Abdullah Kadi and Shiekh Abdul Hafedh.Abdullah Al-Kadi the author of The Book Makkah To Madinah – A Photographic Journey Of The Hijrah Route He spent several years of research driven by the simple desire to determine as precisely as possible the exact route of the Hijrah. In the course of this study, he has conducted dozens of field expeditions, collecting data, recording GPS coordinates, identifying landmarks, calculating distances, and covering as much as possible the entire route by foot. He has also examined every available resource from Hadith and Seerah literature and narrations, to historical documents, maps from the eighteenth century through the present, as well as conducting extensive interviews with local residents to glean information handed down through generations. After analysing, synthesizing, and cross-checking the information from this research he determined as precisely as possible the exact route of the Prophet s (SAW) Hijrah.
