    To hike the mountain early morning is a preferable time and definitely you need few bottles of water, some cookies or chocolate, sport shoes, full sleeve wear to avoid sun burn, at least with one companion, group is much better.. Recite Allah ho Akbar while ascending and Subhanallah while descending..

    Great Experience, one must bring water bag to hydrate while climbing the mountain ⛰️ also take small rest don't go in a single run. Its too high preferably go in the deep morning before sunrise to avoid excessive heat while returning from mountain. Take some milk with you to feed cats 🐈 in the top of the mountain Inside the cave cats are there. One can bring prayer mat to donate in the top of the mountain, the person who prays give blessings because rocks surface heat more.

  • 5/5 Shoaib M. 4 years ago on Google
    I am Alhamdulillah Pakistani Muslim and this historical mountain and cave thore is very important for us. This is mashaALLAH my second time I traveled here for ziarat. I have some recommendations for new commers. Bring one liter zamzam per person for drinking and throwing zamzam on head and clothes. One apple or any fruits one or two pieces only, don't carry weight too much. Bring any seeds for birds, throw that seeds at start point of hiking, you will meet many birds there. Bring one back bag, don't keep anything in hand. After fajar do breakfast at nearest restaurant and hire taxi (15 ~ 20 riyal from haram) start hiking as soon as possible after fajar. A normal person need one hour overall climbing and one hour overall rest during hiking. Total two hours till cave thore. Stay 30 minutes at cave or surrounding. Going down will take 30 minutes + 10 minutes rest if required. Wear joggers. Do rest after every 50 steps for few minutes. Take steps slowing, going fast will waste your energy. Utilize energy slowly. Keep supporting, encouraging other people also. If you are in a group, it will be more easy. Encourage each other. At return taxi will meet you. 5 riyal per person to haram. Good luck, May ALLAH give you strength. Pray for me, my name is Shoaib from Pakistan. Jazak ALLAH

    Serene experience at the top. A place where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companion Hazrat Abubakr (RA) spent time during journey of hijra (migration). It is a tiring journey to the top (atleast an hour and thirty minutes climb) and pavement is not prominent at few places. People with height phobia must plan accordingly. Advisable time is early morning or after Asr prayers. There is a refreshment shop at the top but expect only water and juice over there. A must visit place to experience the holiness of city of Makkah.

    The cave where the Prophet PBUH spent some time to hide from quraish during his migration from Makkah to Medina. Pilgrims flock here and hike around 2 hours to see and pray at the place. There are some midway stay points and small tuck shop at the top as well. In summer, best time to visit and hike is right after Fajar.

  • 5/5 Malik N. 3 years ago on Google
    When the Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) arrived at the cave on Mount Thawr, Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) entered first to clear away anything that might injure the Prophet (ﷺ). He found a few holes and stuffed them with pieces of cloth. The Prophet (ﷺ) then entered and went to sleep on Abu Bakr’s (رضي الله عنه) lap. Suddenly, something stung Abu Bakr’s (رضي الله عنه) foot, but he did not twitch, fearing he would wake the Prophet (ﷺ). The pain was so intense that tears began to run down his cheeks and onto the Prophet’s (ﷺ) face. The Prophet (ﷺ) woke up and saw that Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) was in pain. He applied his spittle on the injury and the pain disappeared.

    This location takes you to the entrance of the new Jabal Thawr Cultural Center under construction. Some have said 4 more years before construction is complete, and some have said 1 more year. I recommend you enter through the neighborhood by turning right before the gas station (before this Google Maps location). Once you enter, people in the neighborhood will guide you. You can also drop 21.386517,39.847210 into your Google Maps search box. It will take you to the steps to climb Jabal Thawr. At around 485 meters in, you’ll find a small hut to buy water or tea. In about 1 year give or take, you won’t be able to walk up to mountain anymore. Good luck!

    (Translated by Google) Mount Ghar Thor, is a mountain located south of Makkah and from behind a bull that passes the road from the airport to Jeddah, and is known to the people on the path of Khawajat because it was taken into account that it is taken outside the boundaries of the sanctuary so that non-Muslims can walk in it. Kilometers from Makkah Al-Mukarramah on the southern side of the Sacred Mosque, and its height is about 748 m from the surface of the sea, which is a hollow rock with a height of 1.25 m. And the opening from the east. From the name of Mount Thor, the name of the laurel was derived, the laurel of Thor, in which the Messenger Muhammad ibn Abd Allah peace be upon him and Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him three night during his emigration to Medina. While they were in the cave, Quraysh came looking for them, until she stood at the mouth of the cave, but God restored it thanks to him and his ability, Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, says: If someone had looked at his feet, he would have seen us under his feet. Then the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said to him: “O Abu Bakr, what you think is two of them, the third of them.” Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim. Allaah has mentioned this incident in his book, the Almighty said: (only Tnasroh may God assist him, as narrated by those who disbelieve the second two as they are in the cave he says to his neighbor, do not be sad that God is with us Allah revealed his knife on it and supported soldiers did not see her and make the word of those who disbelieve the lower word of God She is the Most High and God is the Wise and Wise, (Repentance: 40). (Original) جبل غار ثور، هو جبل يقع جنوب مكة المكرمة ومن خلف ثور يمر الطريق الموصل من المطار إلى جدة، ويعرف لدى الناس بطريق الخواجات لأنه روعي في اتخاذه أن يكون خارج حدود الحرم حتى يستطيع أن يسير فيه غير المسلمين.ويقع غار ثور على بعد نحو أربعة كيلو مترات عن مكة المكرمة في الجهة الجنوبية من المسجد الحرام، وارتفاعه نحو 748 م من سطح البحر، وهو عبارة عن صخرة مجوفة ارتفاعها 1.25م، وله فتحتان فتحة في جهة الغرب وهي التي دخل منها النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم و أبو بكر رضي الله عنه وفتحة من جهة الشرق.من تسمية جبل ثور إشتُق اسم الغار، غار ثور الذي مكث فيه الرسول محمد بن عبد الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأبو بكر الصديق رضي الله عنه ثلاث ليلِ أثناء هجرته إلى المدينة المنورة. وفي أثناء وجودهما في الغار جاءت قريش تبحث عنهما، حتى وقفت على فم الغار، إلا أن الله ردها بفضله وقدرته، يقول أبو بكر رضي الله عنه: لو أن أحدهم نظر إلى قدميه لأبصرنا تحت قدميه . فقال له النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : ( يا أبا بكر ما ظنك باثنين الله ثالثهما ) رواه البخاري و مسلم . وقد ذكر الله تعالى هذا الحادثة في كتابه فقال سبحانه: ( إِلَّا تَنْصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ إِذْ أَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا ثَانِيَ اثْنَيْنِ إِذْ هُمَا فِي الْغَارِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَيَّدَهُ بِجُنُودٍ لَمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا السُّفْلَى وَكَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا وَاللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ) (التوبة:40).

    Went up with kids, the weather was beautiful. It was a lovely place to visit. Historical place. Had for older people to get to the top. Try to set off early in the morning if you want to go to the top. I would not recommend old people to try to go up. Take water bottles with you. There are some small shops on the way where you can buy fruit and water. Took us 45 minutes to get to the top. Depends on your pace.

  • 5/5 SHAHID K. 1 year ago on Google
    The cave that hosted the prophet has always been a point of attraction for the muslims. Before going to climb the mountain make sure you have joggers, ample amount of water to drink, juices as efforts incolved is enormous. Although shops have been established but still keeping your own drinks is an economical option. Better to climb in the later part of the day and keep your mobile charged for descend in the dark. The journey takes about 1hour to 2 hour from bottom to top, depending on the climbers. Fit people with strong legs will handle it in 1 hour. Descend takes about 45 to 60 minutes. On the top there are two caves , one is the approching path, which most people believe to be the cave where the Prophet spent time, but the one on the eatern side seems more like a place of hiding. The scenesof the city from the top of the mountain are attractive. One can see Makkah tower and meenarsof Kabba on the North side, while Aziziya, Mina and Mozdalifa falls in the east. If you are fit, you must visit

    (Translated by Google) Photography is from Thor, which is located on the northern side of Jabal Thor, south of Makkah Al-Mukarramah, and south of the Holy Mosque. It is the cave that the Prophet Muhammad and Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq took to while they were on their way to Medina on the journey of the Prophet's migration, and they entered into it even if the Quraish request for them followed their path. Mount Thor is a large mountain located to the south of Makkah Al-Mukarramah, and above it is the cave of Thor in which the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - and Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq - may God be pleased with him - stayed during their migration to Medina; In order not to get them Quraysh. Mentioned this laurel and seek refuge Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and Abu Bakr to him in the Holy Qur'an in the verse: {only Tnasroh may God assist him, as narrated by those who disbelieve the second two as they are in the cave he says to his neighbor, do not be sad that God is with us Allah revealed His serenity was upon him and he supported him with soldiers that you did not see, and he made the word of those who disbelieved the lower, and the word of God is the Most High. And God is a wise, dear one (At-Tawbah: 40). (Original) التصوير من غار ثور الذي يقع في الجهة الشمالية من جبل ثور جنوب مكة المكرمة، وعلى بعد الجهة الجنوبية من المسجد الحرام. وهو الغار الذي أوى إليه النبي محمد وأبو بكر الصديق وهما في طريقهما إلى المدينة المنورة في رحلة الهجرة النبوية، فدخلا فيه حتى إذا هدأ طلب قريش لهما تابعا طريقهما. جبل ثور هو جبل كبير يقع جنوب مكة المكرمة، وفي أعلاه غار ثور الذي مكث فيه رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وأبو بكر الصديق -رضي الله عنه- أثناء هجرتهما إلى المدينة؛ لكي لا تنال منهما قريش. ورد ذكر هذا الغار والتجاء رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وأبي بكر الصديق إليه في القرآن الكريم في قوله تعالى: {إِلَّا تَنْصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ إِذْ أَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا ثَانِيَ اثْنَيْنِ إِذْ هُمَا فِي الْغَارِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَيَّدَهُ بِجُنُودٍ لَمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا السفلى وَكَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا. وَاللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ} (التوبة: 40).

    Your eyes will open here, you will wonder once Prophet Muhammad stayed here for three nights with His companion Abu Bakar Siddique, while migrating to Madina. This cave is located very far from Makkah and not very easy to climb, normally take 2 to 3 hours. It is very wide from inside. Not easy to reach at the peak till this cave but I will strongly recommend to the young people who come for Umrah. On the 13th, 14th and 15th night of Moon it will be best time to go at night time

    According to Islamic legends, this cave is where the Holy Prophet and his companion Abu Bakr al-Siddiq found shelter when fleeing from Quraish search parties. It is believed to be a sacred and holy site that was used as a hideout by Prophet Mohammad and his companions before Hijrat (migration), and took refuge here for three days and three nights. It is believed that in order to protect the two of them from the searching troops, Allah had a spider weave a web at the cave entrance on the third day of their stay. The web prevented the soldiers from finding them, and thus, saved them from getting caught.

    Amazing mountain climb up to Thour Cave took about 4 hours up and down would highly recommend to go a couple hours before sunset to avoid the heat. There are many people and shelter stops scattered throughout the path. At the top you can see the cave itself and an amazing view of Makkah and haram. If you get the time I would recommend to come up to the top and explore a little. Here are a couple pictures and a short video.

    (Translated by Google) It is the cave to which the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, took refuge while they were on their way to Madinah on the journey of the Prophet’s migration. While they were in the cave, the Quraysh came looking for them, until it stood at the mouth of the cave, but God restored it with his grace and power. Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, says: If one of them had looked at his feet, he would have seen us under his feet. So the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to him: (O Abu Bakr, what do you think of two God, the third of them) Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim. And God Almighty mentioned this incident in his book, so He, Glory be to Him, said: {Do not help him, God has helped him, as those who disbelieve brought him out the second two since they are in the cave, as he says to his companion, Do not be sad, that God is with us, so God sent down his peace on him and supported him with soldiers that you did not see. She is the supreme, and God is Mighty and Wise} (At-Tawbah: 40). The cave of Thor is located about four kilometers from Makkah Al-Mukarramah on the southern side of the Grand Mosque, and its height is about 748 meters from the sea level. Peace and Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, and Fatah from the east. It is worth noting that there is nothing in the Shariah that he desires to visit a bull cave, and therefore it is not permissible for a Muslim to intend to visit him, believing that that visit is a fixed virtue, let alone visiting him with the intention of blessing him with his floor or stones, because that is a forbidden innovation, and God knows best. (Original) هو الغار الذي أوَى إليه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم و أبو بكر رضي الله عنه وهما في طريقهما إلى المدينة في رحلة الهجرة النبوية، فدخلا فيه حتى إذا هدأ طلب قريش لهما تابَعا طريقهما. وفي أثناء وجودهما في الغار جاءت قريش تبحث عنهما، حتى وقفت على فم الغار، إلا أن الله ردها بفضله وقدرته، يقول أبو بكر رضي الله عنه: لو أن أحدهم نظر إلى قدميه لأبصرنا تحت قدميه . فقال له النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : ( يا أبا بكر ما ظنك باثنين الله ثالثهما ) رواه البخاري و مسلم . وقد ذكر الله تعالى هذه الحادثة في كتابه فقال سبحانه: { إلا تنصروه فقد نصره الله إذ أخرجه الذين كفروا ثاني اثنين إذ هما في الغار إذ يقول لصاحبه لا تحزن إن الله معنا فأنزل الله سكينته عليه وأيده بجنود لم تروها وجعل كلمة الذين كفروا السفلى وكلمة الله هي العليا والله عزيز حكيم } (التوبة:40) . ويقع غار ثور على بعد نحو أربعة كيلو مترات عن مكة المكرمة في الجهة الجنوبية من المسجد الحرام، وارتفاعه نحو 748 م من سطح البحر، وهو عبارة عن صخرة مجوفة ارتفاعها 1.25م، وله فتحتان فتحة في جهة الغرب وهي التي دخل منها النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم و أبو بكر رضي الله عنه وفتحة من جهة الشرق. ومما يجدر التنبيه عليه، أنه لم يرِدْ في الشرع ما يرِّغب في زيارة غار ثور، وعليه فلا يجوز لمسلم أن يقصد زيارته معتقداً أن لتلك الزيارة فضيلة ثابتة، فضلا عن أن يزوره بنية التبرك بأرضيته أو أحجاره، فإن ذلك من البدع المحرمة، والله أعلم.

    Known as the “Hill of Illumination” or “Mountain of Light”, Jabal Al-Nour Mountain is famous for the Cave of Hira. This was the place where Prophet Muhammad is said to have been blessed with the first of his many revelations. Its significance in Islamic history, along with rising views of Makkah and the Holy Mosque from its summit, makes Jabal Al-Nour a renowned tourist spot among pilgrims worldwide. In Ramadan 610 CE, the first revelations of the Holy Quran were received by Prophet Muhammad at the Hira Cave. According to the Quran, this night is called ‘the Night of Power’. The legend has it that when Prophet Muhammad was on his usual solitude retreat in the cave, during the final 10 days of the month of Ramadan, Hazrat Jibreel (Archangel Gabriel) visited him and told him to recite the first verse of the Quran. During the Hajj season, this cave is most visited by the pilgrims, but during Umrah, travellers do not make the visit to the cave obligatory. Followers of the Holy Prophet climb the rock to reach the cave on the top and seek blessings. How to reach the Cave of Hira? the-hira-cave Location: In the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia, outside Makkah, the Cave of Hira is located in the Jabal Al-Nour Mountain at a height of 634 meters. It is 4 km away from the Holy Kaaba and overlooks the north with its entrance pointing directly towards the Kaaba. This was the place from where the first divine words of revelation are believed to have descended upon Prophet Muhammad to light up the universe. How to reach: It takes a lot of effort to visit the Hira Cave as it is located at the top of the Nour Mountain, which is a 20 meters’ walk to and from the cave. Jabal Al-Nour is a short drive northwest of the Old City. As the heat is extreme during the day, most pilgrims participate in the summit in the evening or at dawn and dusk. Depending on an individual’s physical strength and ability, the climb up to the cave takes about 45 minutes to 3 hours. This peak is visible for many kilometres around, and it is advised to bring plenty of water and a flashlight along if climbing in the dark. After a climb of about 1,200 steps, the summit is complete, and one can easily recognise the Cave of Hira by a sign painted on stone.

    When the nonbelievers accelerated their torture on the Holy Prophet (PBH) then the Prophet Mohammed (PBH) started to leave his birthplace Mecca upon the revelation from Allah. It’s recorded that the Prophet with his Companion Abu Bakr hid and remained at a cave named Hera for long three days. When they entered the cave the pegions layed eggs and spider built web immediately at the opening of the cave. Upon seeing all these, the chasing nonbelievers quit this cave and left the place.

    (Translated by Google) Although it is a little difficult to come out, it has an air of spirituality that can respond to every step you take. If we look financially, there is a magnificent view of Mecca. Whatever happens, that difficult exit must be climbed and that perfect place must be visited. If anyone is thinking of going to Umrah, they should start making calculations to climb the Mount of Sevres. (Original) Çıkması biraz zor olsa da attığınız her adıma misliyle karşılık verebilecek bir havası maneviyatı var . Maddi açıdan bakıcak olursak muhteşem bir Mekke manzarası var . Ne olursa olsun o zorlu çıkış mutlaka çıkılmalı ve o mükemmel yer ziyaret edilmelidir. Umre ye gitmeyi düşünen varsa kesinlikle şimdiden Sevr dağına çıkma hesapları yapmaya başlasın.

    (Translated by Google) Ghar Thor is located on the northern side of Mount Thor, south of Makkah Al-Mukarramah, and about four kilometers on the southern side of the Grand Mosque. It is the cave to which the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him, were on their way to Medina on the journey of the Prophet’s migration, and they entered into it even if the Quraish request for them followed their path. It is 760 meters above sea level. (Original) غار ثور يقع في الجهة الشمالية من جبل ثور جنوب مكة المكرمة، وعلى بعد نحو أربعة كيلو مترات في الجهة الجنوبية من المسجد الحرام. وهو الغار الذي أوى إليه النبي محمد صل الله عليه وسلم وأبو بكر الصديق رضي الله عنه وهما في طريقهما إلى المدينة المنورة في رحلة الهجرة النبوية، فدخلا فيه حتى إذا هدأ طلب قريش لهما تابعا طريقهما. يبلغ ارتفاعه 760 متراً عن سطح البحر.

    Jabal Thawr (Arabic: جبل ثور‎) (Mount Bull) is the name of a mountain in Saudi Arabia, located in the lower part of Mecca to the south of the district of Misfalah. Height of the mountain is 1,405 m (4,610 ft). The mountain is notable for housing a cave known as Ghar Sawr (Cave of Sawr), in which the Islamic Prophet Muhammad took refuge from the Quraysh, during the migration to Medina. For most Muslims, the cave is of religious significance, and is thus visited by many pilgrims and the tourists.

Sèvres Cave is a small natural cavity in the form of a cavity under a big rock on the slope facing the Mecca side, close to the top of the mountain. There are two entrances, one on the west and the other on the east side of the cave. The entrance to the west where the Messenger of Allah entered is narrow and slightly higher than the ground. The entrance to the east is large enough for people to enter and exit easily. Today, the settlement in Mecca has reached the northern slopes of the Sevres Mountain ...

Mağaranın biri batı, diğeri Doğu tarafında iki giriş bulunmaktadır. Resul-i Ekrem’in girdiği Batı yönündeki giriş dar olup zeminden biraz yüksektedir. Doğu yöndeki giriş ise insanın rahatlıkla girip çıkabileceği büyüklüktedir. Günümüzde Mekke’de yerleşim Sevr dağının kuzey eteklerine kadar ulaşmıştır...

    Alhamdolillah have the blessing to visit this cave and offer prayers. Very steep need atleast 1.5 hours to reach the peek. Keep a bottle of water and dont look up keep walking and take a break after every 10 minutes you will be ok ... Its a mission to reach the top but all paid off when you are in the actual cave a blessing to have a visit. Its a life time experience. You can buy the water bottles at the top for abulution. Do visit and experience the the peace. While climbing dont ask people how far is it coz you will only know once you are there cant see the actual cave unless you are at the top.

    Jabal Thawr is a mountain in Saudi Arabia that is located in the lower part of Makkah south of the Misfalah district. The place is popular among people belonging to the Islamic religion as it houses the well-known Cave of Thawr. Also known as Ghar Thawr and Ghar e Soor, the Cave of Thawr has religious significance. According to Islamic legends, this cave is where the Holy Prophet and his companion Hazrat Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (R.A) found shelter when fleeing from Quraish search parties. It is believed to be a sacred and holy site that was used as a hideout by Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W) and his companions before Hijrat (migration), and took refuge here for three days and three nights. It is believed that in order to protect the two of them from the searching troops, Allah had a spider weave a web at the cave entrance on the third day of their stay. The web prevented the soldiers from finding them, and thus, saved them from getting caught. Pilgrims from around the world travel to Makkah and visit the Cave of Thawr along with the Cave of Hira to witness these auspicious caves for the numerous miracles that happened in them. Further, the caves also present spiritual environment to focus on Allah and his blessings. How to Get to Jabal Thawr? The Cave of Thawr is not very far away from the holy city of Makkah. It is located at a distance of about 13 km from Khana Kaba, followed by two hours ardous hike. The Jabal Thawr offers a panoramic view of the cityscape to the visitors.

    It is place where Holy Prophet (PBUH) along with Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique, RA hide from people of Makkah for three days during hijrat (immigration) to Madinah. Cave is situated at height of 6000 feet and its slope is very steep (but managable for climb). You can go to bottom of cave on Uber or Makkah Bus. Suggested time for commencing climb is after Fajar prayers. A mosque is also situated at bottom of mountain/ start of track, where you can take rest and say morning prayer. Try to take water and some money with you which you can spent for buying of lemonade enroute. Please don't give money to any begger while your climb or decent who is asking money in any form (professional baggers are found on route who try to convince you for lending money with unique & unimagined means). Approximate time for climb is one and half hour and desent is about one hour. Last tip is to tire the mountain, nor yourself.
