Badr, the site of the first major battle in Islam, is roughly 150 km south-west of Madinah — about 2 hours each way by road. Pilgrims usually visit the area of the battlefield and the graves of the martyrs of Badr, then return the same day. There is no public transport that suits this trip, so most pilgrims hire a private car or van for half a day. Ask Marhaba Haji on WhatsApp for a quote for your group.

In this Guide
Hire one vehicle for the round trip so the driver waits at Badr — there is little transport there to come back.
Planning the day
Leave after Fajr, visit Badr in the morning and return to Madinah for Dhuhr or Asr. Carry water and snacks, as facilities on the route are limited.
Adab at the graves
Give salam to the martyrs and make du'a for them. Avoid touching the graves or seeking blessings from them, and follow any instructions on site.
