Day 1: Begin in Jeddah

Start in Jeddah with a guided walk through historic Al Balad, moving through its winding streets and past the old coral-stone houses. See Beit Nassif from the outside, walk along the Corniche with your host and settle into the city before travelling to Makkah the following day.

Day 2: Umrah in Makkah

Drive from Jeddah to Makkah and settle into your hotel before performing Umrah with a specialist local guide. ROAM’s Umrah support includes practical guidance through the pilgrimage, an Umrah kit and a commemorative certificate featuring a vintage illustration of Makkah.

Day 3: Makkah & Its Sacred Landscape

Spend the morning visiting places connected to Hajj and Islamic history, including Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah, as well as Mount Thawr and Jabal Al-Noor. After lunch, there is time to perform a second Umrah or remain at leisure, with your local host available for guidance.

Day 4: Makkah to Madinah

Travel by high-speed train to Madinah, where you will be met by your local host. The evening includes the option of dinner overlooking Mount Uhud, introducing a city shaped by pilgrimage, faith and centuries of Islamic history.

Day 5: Madinah

Walk through Madinah with a private guide, focusing on the Prophet’s Mosque and the historical places surrounding it. The afternoon is left open for prayer, a Rawdah visit or time around the Haram. Later, visit Uhud and other significant sites connected to the city’s early Islamic history.

Day 6: Calligraphy & Islamic Heritage

Travel to the battlefield of Badr before returning to Madinah. Visit the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Global Center for Arabic Calligraphy and take part in a private calligraphy masterclass. Depending on opening times, the programme may also include Gharss Well or the King Fahd Glorious Qur’an Printing Complex.

Day 7: Madinah - AlUla

Leave Madinah by road for AlUla, a journey of approximately three and a half hours. As the landscape changes, continue towards Harrat Viewpoint in the late afternoon and watch the sun set across AlUla from above.

Day 8: Old Town, Oasis & Desert Sky

Spend the morning exploring AlUla Old Town and the oasis with a guide. Later, continue to Arc Mountain, with the option of a plein-air art workshop. As evening falls, stay out in the desert for stargazing and dinner beneath the night sky.

Day 9: Dadan, Ikmah & Elephant Rock

Explore Dadan and Jabal Ikmah by private Land Rover, looking at some of the ancient history and inscriptions held within AlUla’s landscape. Later, make time for Elephant Rock as the desert begins to cool and the light changes towards sunset.

Day 10: Onward from AlUla

Depart AlUla for the journey home, or continue onwards towards the Red Sea.
