It is a cave on Mount Thawr, which has deep religious significance because of its link to the Hijra (migration) of Prophet Muhammad and his companion Abu Bakr. We also do Mount Al-Nour, or The Mountains of Light. This mountain houses the important Cave Hira where Prophet Muhammad received God's revelation through the Archangel Gabriel. After this we visit Arafat (Mount Al-Rahman and the Namerah Mosque), Muzdalifah (located between Mina and Arafat) and Mindah (Jamrart and the Al Kheef Mosque).
