Begin at Mount Uhud, where the Battle of Uhud took place and 70 companions, including Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib (RA), were martyred. Continue to Bani Haritha Mosque, also known as Masjid Al-Mustarah, where the Prophet (SAW) is said to have rested on his return from the battle. Visit Masjid Al Dira, associated with his preparations for the battle.
At the Seven Mosques near Mount Sela, learn about their connection to the Battle of the Trench in 627 CE. Lunch is on your own.
