A Journey of Footsteps

While buses and trains are available, millions of pilgrims choose (or are forced by traffic) to walk between Makkah, Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah. Prepare for intense physical exertion.

Al Mashaaer Al Mugaddassah Metro (Hajj Train)

The Hajj metro connects Makkah, Mina, Muzdalifah, and Arafat. However, you cannot simply buy a ticket at the station. Access to the train is strictly allocated to specific Hajj tour groups and countries. If your package does not include train access, you will rely on buses or walking.
