Central Holidays’ 9-day “Umrah Plus” tour allows pilgrims to take advantage of the program. Beginning in Makkah, the holiest city in Islam, you will go to Masjid Al Haram (the Holy Mosque or Haram Mosque). This is the largest mosque in the world. There, you will undertake the Umrah steps of the tawaf and sa’i, and pray in front of the Kaaba. An expert guide will also bring you to Jabal al Noor, Jabal Ar Rahmah, and Mina, and elucidate some of the defining moments in Islam’s history. Transfer to Medina—Islam’s second holiest city—by high-speed train and head for Al Masjid an Nabawi (the Prophet’s Mosque). Prophet Muhammad helped build the mosque and is buried here. Tradition says that prayers said here are never rejected. You will visit Masjid Quba (the Quba Mosque) and Masjid al Qiblatayn (the mosque of the two qiblas), as well as Mount Uhud, where the battle of Uhud took place. After a flight to Riyadh, you will spend the last two days getting to know Saudi’s enchanting capital city. Visit the National Museum, Murabba Palace, the Al Masmak Fortress, and Deira Souq. Explore the heritage village of Ushaiger, and walk along the charming pathways surrounded by mud houses and mosques. Many meals will be included at hotels and restaurants, and you will travel in comfort in deluxe, air-conditioned motor coaches. Come for the Umrah and stay a while!
