A 10-night package means 10 nights of hotel stay in Saudi Arabia, which works out to 11 days total — 5 nights in Makkah and 5 nights in Madinah. Pilgrims fly out and arrive on Day 1, spend all 10 nights across the two holy cities, and fly home on Day 11.

Day 1 — Depart USA / Arrive Makkah

Depart from your chosen US city and land at King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah. A private transfer takes you straight to Nada Al Diyafah, approximately 1.2 km from the Haram. Check in, freshen up after your journey, and change into Ihram ahead of Umrah — your group leader will walk you through the intentions and rulings before you head out for your first visit to the Haram.

Day 2 — Umrah Rites

Perform Umrah — Tawaf around the Kaaba, Sa’i between Safa and Marwah, and Halq or Taqsir to complete the rites — with step-by-step guidance from your group leader throughout. Most pilgrims spend the rest of the day resting and offering voluntary prayers at the Haram, soaking in the spiritual atmosphere.

Day 3 — Ziyarat in Makkah

A guided visit to Jabal al-Noor and the Cave of Hira, the mountain where the first revelation is believed to have taken place. It’s a steep, meaningful climb for those able to make it, and the group leader will share the history of the site along the way. Evening is free for additional prayers at the Haram.

Day 4 — Free Day in Makkah

An open day to worship at your own pace — extra Tawaf, quiet time with the Qur’an, or simply resting between prayers. No fixed schedule, so you can structure the day around what feels most meaningful. Some pilgrims use this day to visit local markets or simply reflect in the Haram.

Day 5 — Ziyarat in Makkah

A guided visit to Jabal Thawr and other historical sites connected to the Prophet’s ﷺ journey from Makkah to Madinah, including the cave where he ﷺ took shelter during the migration. This is your final full day in Makkah — use the evening for one last Tawaf before packing up.

Day 6 — Travel to Madinah

Transfer via the Haramain High Speed Railway to Madinah — a comfortable, roughly two-hour journey across the desert. On arrival, check in to Diyafat Al Mukhtara, just 500–700 meters from the Masjid an-Nabawi courtyard, and settle in for the second half of your trip. Visit the Prophet’s Mosque for Maghrib prayer on your first evening in Madinah.

Day 7 — Ziyarat in Madinah

A guided visit to Masjid an-Nabawi, the Rawdah (subject to availability), and Quba Mosque — the first mosque built in Islam, just outside the city center. Many pilgrims try to pray two rak’ahs at Quba, following the Sunnah. Spend the remainder of the day at the Prophet’s Mosque, offering prayers and making du’as.

Day 8 — Free Day in Madinah

Additional time for worship at Masjid an-Nabawi at your own pace. Given the convenient proximity of Diyafat Al Mukhtara to the mosque, it’s easy to head over between each of the five daily prayers. Use this day for personal devotion, Qur’an recitation, and quiet reflection.

Day 9 — Ziyarat in Madinah

A guided visit to Mount Uhud, the site of the Battle of Uhud, the Martyrs’ cemetery where companions of the Prophet ﷺ are buried, and Masjid al-Qiblatain, the Mosque of the Two Qiblas. This is a profoundly moving experience that connects pilgrims to the early history of Islam. Return to the hotel for rest and evening prayers at the Prophet’s Mosque.

Day 10 — Free Day in Madinah

Your final full day in Saudi Arabia. Spend extra time at Masjid an-Nabawi at your own pace, make any last du’as, and visit the local markets to pick up Ajwa dates and other souvenirs to take home. Finish packing ahead of tomorrow’s departure.

Day 11 — Departure

Check out of Diyafat Al Mukhtara and transfer to Madinah airport for your return flight to the USA.

Note: this is the standard routing most pilgrims choose — flying into Jeddah, starting in Makkah, and finishing in Madinah before departure. You can also fly directly into Madinah and begin your journey there instead. Let your travel consultant know your preference when booking.
