This year, as Mecca is closed to visitors for the first time in recent history, NWMI is bringing Hajj to you!  Experience the magic of Hajj from the comfort and safety of your vehicle as you drive through a miniature recreation of important rituals.  

Wear white, decorate your car, and become a pilgrim as you head to Mina, spend some time in Arafat, perform tawaf around a life-sized Kaaba, see live sheep, enjoy celebratory Eid goodies, and so much more!  Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to celebrate with our community and learn about each station of hajj with your whole family.

The entire drive-thru experience will take about 15 minutes to complete. Come by anytime between 2pm and 5pm.
