We begin our day visiting Al-Ghars Well, one of the beloved wells of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), known for its fresh water. The Prophet (SAW) drank from it, performed wudhu, and wished to be washed with its water after his passing. Continue to Al-Faqir (Salman Al-Farsi) Well, once part of an orchard where Salman Al-Farsi (RA) worked, carrying deep Islamic heritage. Our next stop is Al-Hajim Well & Date Farm, believed to predate Islam and visited by the Prophet (SAW). This serene spot offers insight into the region’s spiritual and agricultural history. Before returning, we explore Souq Al-Kamasha, one of Madinah’s oldest traditional markets, dating back over 430 years, famous for its vibrant textile stalls and cultural charm. After a short stroll through the souq, we return to the hotel, ending our enriching day.
