ABOUT OUR MEEQAT LOCATIONSArriving by car
Your Spiritual Gateway to Sacred Pilgrimage
Serving pilgrims traveling toward Makkah, Meeqat Qarn al-Manazil (Al-Sayl Al-Kabir) and Meeqat Wadi Mahram (Al-Hada) stand as vital sacred boundaries along the historic Taif routes. These holy locations provide the official points where believers declare their intention (Niyyah), assume the state of Ihram, and begin their spiritual journey with serenity, focus, and peace of mind.
Designed to support pilgrims across both locations, our modern facilities offer seamless essential services. From spacious ablution and shower complexes to authentic dining, Ihram retail shops, and organized 24/7 parking management, we ensure a comfortable and spiritually uplifting experience for every visitor.
