A pilgrim needs to cover a lot of ground on the Hajj. First they must travel to Saudi Arabia and then arrive in Mecca. From there they travel to Mina, Arafat, Mudzalifah and back to Mecca sometimes several times. After the conclusion of the Hajj many pilgrims elect to see the Prophet's Mosque in Medina.
See our maps for more detail.
