مِيقَات قَرْن المَنَازِل
Qarn al-Manazil is one of the five Miqat stations designated by Hz. Peygamber Muhammad (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem). It serves hacilar 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 cami and facilities for hacilar to perform Ghusl and change into Ihram garments. Being one of the nearest Miqat points to Mekke, it is heavily used by Saudi residents and Gulf visitors 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.
