Safa and Marwa

Safa and Marwa are two small hills located on the eastern side of the Grand Mosque. Hajj and Umrah pilgrims walk back and forth between them seven times. This act of walking, known as Saee, is one of the integral rites of both Hajj and Umrah, which are both considered incomplete without. Safa marks the starting point of the Saee, while Marwa marks its conclusion in the seventh cycle.
