After breakfast, embark on a journey steeped in history and spirituality. Your day begins with an exploration of the iconic Amman Citade with wonders such as the Umayyad Palace, Mosque & Water Cistern, an Ayyubid Watchtower, the Roman Temple of Hercules, a Byzantine Church, and an ancient 6000-seat Roman theatre. Following this historical immersion, the day continues with a visit to the Al-Husseini Mosque, an Ottoman marvel constructed by King Abdullah bin Al-Hussein in 1924. This Mosque stands on the very grounds where the revered Caliph Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (RA) established a mosque in 640 A.D. Nearby, the King Abdullah Mosque, affectionately termed the Blue Dome Mosque for its azure interior, stands as a testament to King Abdullah Ibn Al-Hussein's legacy. Venturing into Jubeiha, an Amman suburb, we pay our respects to Abdul-Rahman Ibn Awf Al-Zuhri (RA), one of the ten companions promised paradise. His legacy includes participation in major Muslim battles like Uhud and Badr. Our journey then leads to Wadi Seer, home to the Maqam of the blessed Sahabi, Bilal Ibn Rabah (RA). Once a slave, he rose to prominence with his deep faith, becoming the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ cherished muezzin. Delving deeper into history, we move to Al-Salt, once the administrative heart of the Ottoman Empire in the region. Here, we're granted the privilege to visit the Maqams of Prophets Shu’ayb (AS) and Yusha (AS), with the latter's Maqam perched on a hill bearing his blessed name. The day culminates with a trip to Khirbet Ayub, southwest of Al-Salt, where you'll find the Maqam of the blessed Prophet Ayub (AS), known for his unwavering patience and faith. As dusk settles, we return to Amman for a well-deserved dinner and restful night.
Following breakfast, our spiritual journey takes us to the Al-Raqim Village, 10 kilometers from Amman. It is here that you'll encounter the remarkable Surah Kahf Cave, also known as the Cave of the Seven Sleepers. This sacred site, is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an with an entire chapter bearing its name, holds profound historical and religious significance. Our journey then leads us 156 km from Amman to the majestic Sahabi Tree, also known as the Tree of Al-Buqayawiyya. This ancient Atlantic Pistachio tree, standing proud for over 1,500 years, is historically significant as the very spot where Prophet Muhammad ﷺ sought shade and rest during a trade expedition accompanied by his uncle, Abu Talib. As evening approaches, we will make our way back to Amman, concluding the day with dinner and rest.
After breakfast, we embark on a journey travelling via the renowned Kings Highway, en route to Mount Nebo. This sacred site is where Prophet Musa (AS) was bestowed with an amazing view of the Holy Lands (Palestine) a sweeping panorama encompassing the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and the Palestinian mountains. From here, our expedition proceeds to Al-Karak, the historic battleground of the Battle of Mu’tah, fought in 629AD. This site witnessed the martyrdom of several of the Holy Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ cherished companions against the Byzantine/Ghassanid forces. Our spiritual journey deepens as we visit the blessed Maqams and Masjids of some illustrious companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Among them, Ja’far Ibn Abu Talib (RA), also known as Ja’far Al-Tayar, the Prophet's ﷺ cousin and elder brother to Ali Ibn Abi Talib (RA). We will also visit the valiant Sahabi Zaid Ibn Al-Haritha (RA), who was embraced and mentored by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from a young age, and the esteemed Sahabi Abdullah Ibn Rawahah (RA) - all of whom demonstrated unparalleled valor at the Battle of Mu’tah. The day concludes with a tranquil drive back to Amman, for dinner and a night of rest.
