The journey from Madinah to Makkah
Most pilgrims travel from Medina to Mecca after their days at Masjid an-Nabawi, so the trip usually doubles as the start of Umrah. Your driver stops at Masjid Dhul Hulaifah, about 15 minutes from the Haram in Madinah, where you can change into Ihram and pray two rakat before making your intention.
From there the Hijrah Road runs south through the desert with rest stops roughly every hour. We stop whenever you need to for prayer, food or the bathroom. Families with children or elderly passengers often ask for a longer break halfway, which is fine.
