About your trip

Embark on a transformative journey to Makkah and Madinah, the sacred heart of the Umrah pilgrimage. Together as a group of Arkanum travelers, you’ll share moments of reflection, energy, and spiritual connection that make this experience truly special.

🕋 Makkah: Spiritual Core

In Makkah, you’ll perform Tawaf around the Kaaba, walk between Safa and Marwah, and pray at Masjid al-Haram, surrounded by believers from across the world. You will be staying at the Anjum Makkah Hotel, conveniently located less than 5 minutes from the Haram, ensuring ease of access to the Grand Mosque for your prayers and rituals.

🕌 Madinah: City of Peace

Then, in Madinah, find peace in the Prophet’s Mosque (Masjid an-Nabawi). With the honor of praying in the Rawdah, a garden from the gardens of Paradise, your spiritual fulfillment will deepen. You will be accommodated at the Deyar Al Eiman Hotel. Explore sacred landmarks such as Jabal Uhud, the site of the historic battle, and Masjid Quba, the first mosque in Islam.

This shared journey of faith and friendship will leave your heart renewed, your spirit elevated, and your memories forever tied to the sacred history of these blessed cities.
