£1,250 to register. £2,400 to raise. Ten nights of worship in motion — and an orphan whose life changes because you climbed.
Yes, I'm trekkingThis is a challenge for those who refuse to sit still. For believers who put their faith into motion. For the doers, the daredevils, the die-hards who turn worship into steps.
Over ten unforgettable nights you’ll complete Umrah, walk in the footsteps of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his companions, and climb three iconic peaks tied to stories of revelation, sacrifice and courage: Mount Noor (Jabal al-Noor), where the first revelation of the Qur’an came down in the Cave of Hira; Mount Thawr, where the Prophet (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr (RA) took refuge during the Hijrah; and Mount Uhud, the site of one of Islamic history’s defining battles.
This is worship in motion. Every ascent is a reminder. Every step is for an orphan who needs you.
Settle in, welcome and orientation.
Guided ziyarat of the city’s historic sites and time at Masjid an-Nabawi.

There are over 150 million orphans worldwide. 5,700 children become orphans every single day — to war, climate crises, poverty, disease and lack of medical care.
When you sponsor an orphan with Human Appeal, you enable a child to go to school, eat well, and stay safe, warm and healthy. £40 provides an orphaned child with food, shelter and healthcare for a month. £480 sponsors an orphan for a whole year.
“I and the one who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this” — and he held his index and middle fingers together. [Sahih Bukhari]
Don’t dream of change. Make it.
Donate nowNo technical climbing experience is needed — the ascents of Mount Noor, Mount Thawr and Mount Uhud are moderate hikes rather than technical climbs — but a good level of fitness is recommended given the ten-night itinerary.
Mount Noor (Jabal al-Noor), Mount Thawr and Mount Uhud — three peaks tied to some of the most significant moments in Islamic history, alongside your Umrah and guided ziyarat.
The £1,250 registration fee is non-refundable. All funds raised go directly to the Human Appeal Orphan Sponsorship Appeal.
Registration covers internal ground transport, accommodation and guided ziyarat throughout the ten-night retreat. Flights and personal Umrah items are arranged separately — full details are shared at the pre-departure webinar.
100% of funds raised support Human Appeal’s Orphan Sponsorship Appeal — helping children go to school, eat well and stay safe.
£2,400 goes a long way for orphaned children — £40 provides one child with food, shelter and healthcare for a month, and £480 sponsors a child for an entire year.
Three mountains steeped in history are waiting. An orphan is waiting too. Will you climb for them?
