Why visit?
Here law meets geography: a Prophetic ihram boundary and an Abbasid station on Zubayda’s road.
Northeast of Makkah on Darb Zubayda lies Dhat Irq—linked with al-Dariba. Water, mosque, caravan halt, and ihram line for Iraq. Abbasid stages and al-Himyari’s description keep the place alive on the map of fiqh and road.
