Tripoli
Tripoli is the capital and largest city of Libya, located on the country’s Mediterranean coast. Historically, it was founded by the Phoenicians in the 7th century BC and has since been ruled by the Romans, Arabs, Ottomans, and Italians, which is reflected in its diverse architecture, such as the ancient Medina and the Red Castle.
Hajj
The Hajj is the annual Islamic pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, a religious duty that every able-bodied Muslim must perform at least once in their lifetime. Its history dates back to the Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) and was later re-established by the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century, following the practices of the early Islamic community.
Umrah
Umrah is a non-mandatory Islamic pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, that can be undertaken at any time of the year. It involves a series of ritual acts, including the Tawaf (circumambulation of the Kaaba) and Sa’i (walking between the hills of Safa and Marwah), which commemorate the actions of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his family.
