مِيقَات قَرْن المَنَازِل
Qarn al-Manazil is one of the five Miqat stations designated by النبي Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم). It serves الحجاج coming from central Arabia, including those traveling from Riyadh, Taif, and the broader Najd region. The modern town of Al-Sayl al-Kabeer marks this Miqat, featuring a مسجد and facilities for الحجاج to perform الغسل and change into الإحرام garments. Being one of the nearest Miqat points to مكة, it is heavily used by Saudi residents and Gulf الزوار traveling overland. Pilgrims arriving at Taif's airport also use this Miqat. The area is mountainous, situated in the Sarawat mountain range, and historically served as a resting point on the caravan route between Najd and the Hejaz.
