Performing Umrah and Hajj is the dream of every Muslim. Everyone desires to go for Hajj and Umrah at least once in their life. During their holy spree, everyone makes sure to go for a Ziyarat Trip, but there are few people who not only want to visit the sacred and historic place in Islamic history but also want to explore the surroundings! These small trips might sound like a picnic to many but they are a great experience if you remove a little time and explore these places. Nowadays Low-price Hajj and Umrah Packages with the best possible services to the pilgrims are in most demand. With these Packages, you can save a considerable amount of money to explore and make the best of your trip

There are many places around Makkah to explore during your travel. Below is a list of these places that you can not afford to miss!

1. Factory of Kiswah at Umm Al-Jud:

The Kaaba has a long history of being covered and adorned. The Kiswah (the cloth that covers the Holy Kaaba) is a highly respected cloth in the Holy Mosque and by all Muslims. Every year the Kaaba Kiswa is replaced. The used fabric is carefully sectioned to create gifts for dignitaries and world leaders. Kiswah has gone through many changes in the past due to economic and social factors. The famous factory where the Kaaba Kiswa is produced is about a 17 km drive west of central Makkah. The Kiswah Al Kaaba factory has been making the Kiswah for almost 45 years and is owned and run by the Saudi Arabian government. 

It takes a whole year to produce the cover; six to eight months of that is taken up for embroidery alone. Discover how more than 100 workers transform 670kg of pure silk into the Kiswa at the factory. Visitors are welcome to see the artisans at work from 9 am to noon on Saturdays, Mondays, and Wednesdays.

2. Al Wahba Crater:

Its unique place in Makkah, the crater is around 250 km from Jeddah. The 1-mile-long crater is surrounded by 900-foot rugged cliffs. It was once a place for volcanic activities that now turned into a trekking zone. The lunar-like landscape offers a magnificent experience for those who come to climb it – The eye-catching views over the desert from the crater’s rim. But as wonderful as the views are from above, the real magic happens when you climb down into the heart of the crater. In the centre of the bowl of the crater, you’ll find white sodium phosphate crystals that glitter. This salt bed transforms into a pearly lake whenever rainwater collects in the hollow, surrounded by the shrubs and palms that circle the crater’s rim making it look magnificent. A dried lava field creates a beautiful view from the northern edge of the hollow. There is a mosque at the end of the entrance road and also upgraded picnic shelters around the rim. 

3. Auction House Makkah:

Located in the Hilton Tower, Makkah Auction House is a worth visiting place in the city. Here you can see ancient gems, unique artefacts, and many other fascinating and interesting things. This Auction House gives you the feel of a shopping centre where you can see people bidding on beguiling things.

4. The Green Sarawat Mountains

From the Sea of Jeddah to the Heights of Hada, through the village and the forest, we can see the clouds in Abha, a fun trip for six days to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere and magical scenery in Saudi Arabia

5. Albaik chicken

It is one of the best and most famous fried chicken in Mecca and Medina and one of all Hajjis favourites. It has been situated on the outside of the Haram Shareef for a very long time. The spices are very authentic. The portion is big with reasonable prices. It is a must-visit!

6. Makkah Clock Tower Museum

The museum is very well organized and spread over 4 floors and has a cost of 150 riyals. Spend some time looking at the exhibit about our universe, sun, moon, earth, time, and the construction of the clock tower but the highlight is the most gorgeous view of the Holy Kaabah and encircling areas. Viewing the gallery with a 360-degree view of Makkah at the highest point and a Bird's Eye View of the Kaba is definitely worth it.

Plan your visit to this place around an hour or more before Maghrib (sunset). Then head on to the outdoor terrace where you can view the whole city of Mecca. Sunset is very beautiful up here, and you can perform the Maghrib prayer on the terrace and follow the Imam inside Kaaba. A Unique experience. 

7. Makkah Mall:

This luxurious mall is dedicated to providing a dynamic shopping experience and dining atmosphere to all its visitors in Makkah. Makkah Mall being one of the largest malls is considered a unique, diverse, and noteworthy shopping spot for people who visit Makkah. You can find a wide diversity of local and international brands here with many top-notch restaurants. Makkah mall is a great place to visit and buy souvenirs for your family and friends and have a great experience!

8. Abraj Al- Bait Tower:

This iconic building is just a few meters away from the Masjid Al-Hamram, a two mins walking distance. You can enjoy food courts on the 3rd and the 4th floors. There are good restaurants on the 11th floor as well and other restaurants and coffee shops too. if you want an evening with all the shopping and a coffee for refreshment just near by the Haram Shareef then it is a good option. The shopping is also good here, little expensive but exclusive things are available with local and international brands. 

9. Riyadh and Jedda:

Here you can enjoy Riyadh’s Desert Safari. It is usually a four-hour journey into the steep desert to see the magnificent sunset. Then you can visit the national museum, the primary custodian of the national heritage and culture of Saudi Arabia. In Jedda you can immerse yourself in Saudi Abarias oldest and the liveliest city. You can cherish the local Jeddah food and the old Jeddah hidden galleries too. You can also visit Murabba Palace named after its square that is 400*400 meters.
