Tour overview
What this tour is for
Uhud is one of the most visited historical locations in Madinah, and one of the easiest to misunderstand without context. This tour slows the visit down and explains the terrain: where the two sides were positioned, why the high ground mattered, and how the day unfolded.
Standing in the area while the sequence is explained makes the geography click in a way that reading about it rarely does.
