Dhul Hulayfah as the centrepiece
Abyar Ali mosque has facilities for changing into Ihram, making wudu, and praying before you continue. Tell us at booking if you want a Miqat stop β it is the single most important planning detail on this route.
Drivers familiar with pilgrim traffic time the stop so you are not rushed, then continue the remaining hours to Makkah with a prayer and refreshment break as standard.
The road south
Expect roughly 4.5 to 5 hours direct, longer with an extended Miqat stop. Highway 15 is dual carriageway with service stations; midday heat in summer is significant β water is stocked in the vehicle.
