The facility features miniature and life-sized architectural reproductions of significant Islamic landmarks, including structures representing the Kaaba and various sites associated with the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages. It functions primarily as a simulation venue for Indonesian pilgrims to practice and learn the rituals required for religious travel to Saudi Arabia. The grounds include scaled-down versions of locations like Mount Arafat and Muzdalifah. The site is designed to provide visual and physical context for those preparing for the Hajj. It is located in the Gunung Pati district, situated on the southern outskirts of Semarang City.
The central replica of the Kaaba provides the most recognizable backdrop for visitors.
Wear comfortable, easy-to-remove footwear as you will need to remove them frequently to enter various replica structures.
Bring a hat and sunglasses, as the outdoor nature of the site provides limited shade during the peak of the day.
Visit during the weekday to avoid large groups of students on organized field trips.
Do not treat the site as a standard amusement park; maintain a quiet and respectful demeanor as it is used for religious training.
Modest dress is required; ensure shoulders and knees are covered as a sign of respect for the religious nature of the replicas.
