Who enters Ihram at Wadi Muharram

The Miqat for pilgrims leaving Taif for Makkah on the Al-Hada mountain road. It is also known as the Al-Hada road Miqat, part of the Qarn al-Manazil Miqat.

Tips from our drivers

  • It is the quickest Miqat from Taif hotels, about 15 minutes away.
  • The Al-Hada descent to Makkah is steep with many bends; drivers take it slowly.
  • The road can close in fog or heavy rain; the driver then uses the As-Sail road and its Miqat instead.

Who enters Ihram here?

Wadi Muharram is the Miqat for pilgrims leaving Taif for Makkah on the Al-Hada mountain road. If your road to Makkah for Umrah or Hajj passes it, you enter Ihram here or before it. Ask a scholar if you are unsure which Miqat applies to you.

Will the driver wait while we change into Ihram?

Yes. The stop is part of the fare. Most families need 30 to 45 minutes to bathe, change and pray two rak'ahs, and the driver waits as long as you need.

Can we enter Ihram at home instead?

Many pilgrims put on their Ihram clothes at home or at the hotel and make the intention at the Miqat. The driver still stops so you can pray and make the intention there.
