The 5 Miqat Points for Umrah: Locations, Rules & Taxi Guide

What Is a Miqat?

The Miqat is the boundary where pilgrims must enter the state of Ihram before Umrah or Hajj. Crossing it without Ihram (when intending pilgrimage) requires a compensatory sacrifice — so getting the Miqat right matters.

Which Miqat Do You Use?

**Landing in Jeddah for Umrah:** you crossed the Miqat mid-flight — wear Ihram before boarding, or do a Tan'im run if you stayed in Jeddah first

**Coming from Madinah:** Dhu'l-Hulayfah (Abyar Ali)

**Coming from Taif:** Qarn al-Manazil

**Already in Makkah:** Tan'im (Masjid Aisha)

What Happens at the Miqat

Ghusl (ritual bath) — facilities at every major Miqat

Change into Ihram garments

Two rak'ahs prayer (Sunnah)

Make the niyyah (intention) and recite the Talbiyah

Allow 45–60 minutes. Our Miqat taxi builds this waiting time into the price.
