العمرة Masjid Aisha at Taneem is the nearest point outside the Haram boundary where those already in مكة can enter الإحرام for a new العمرة — it is about 7 km from the Haram with full facilities.
Masjid Aisha, يقع في the area of Taneem approximately 7 km northwest of المسجد الحرام, is the nearest Miqat point outside the Haram boundary (Hil). It is named after Aisha (رضي الله عن her), who was instructed by النبي (صلى الله عليه وسلم) through her brother Abdur-Rahman to go to Taneem to enter الإحرام for her العمرة during the Farewell الحج.
You need to go to Taneem if you are already inside مكة (within the Haram boundary) and wish to perform a new العمرة. Since الإحرام for العمرة must be entered from outside the Haram boundary, you cannot simply make the intention from your hotel in مكة. Taneem/Masjid Aisha is the closest and most convenient exit point for this purpose. Other options include going to Ja'ranah or Hudaybiyah, but Taneem is by far the most popular due to proximity.
The مسجد has modern facilities including: ablution areas, الصلاة spaces, separate sections for men and women to change into الإحرام garments, and shops selling الإحرام cloths and supplies. Taxis from the Haram area to Masjid Aisha are readily available — the trip takes about 15-20 minutes. Many الحج/العمرة operators arrange group transport to Taneem for those wishing to perform a second العمرة. Upon arriving at Taneem, perform الغسل if possible, change into الإحرام, make your niyyah for العمرة, begin the التلبية, and return to the Haram for الطواف and السعي.
