Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) dropped Hazrat Hajra and Hazrat Ismail (AS) in that place due to order of Allah Almighty in dream.

THE LOCATION OF ZAM ZAM WELL-MAKKAH

HOW CAN WE REACH THE ZAM ZAM?

            The Makkah doesn't has its own airport so if you are coming by air then you must have to land on King Abdul Aziz International Air Port which is 90km to the west of Makkah. This airport is fully crowded in Hajj season, the holy month of Zil Hajj. The second option is to have a flight towards Mohammad Bin Abdul Aziz International Airport which is located in Madina (Another Holy City where the Holy Prophet Mohammad SAWW migrated). 

            From Jaddah to Makkah it takes almost 45 minutes and from Madina to Makkah almost 6 hours are needed. The Saudi transport is there to accommodate you in a very reasonable rates.

May Allah Pak take us to such sacred place and bestow His blessings upon all of us….
