Tawaf (Tavaf) - circling the Kaaba seven times counterclockwise starting at the Black Stone corner.
Safa and Marwa - two small mountains.
To make Sa'i easier for pilgrims the mountains are enclosed in the Masjid al- Haram.
You can only see the peaks of the mountains.
Sa'i (Saee) - going back and forth seven times between the mountains beginning at al-Safa.Performing Sa'i is like walking up and down a very very long hallway, but the ends of the "hallway" become unleveled and steep when you reach the peak of each mountain.
Seven rounds is approximately 2 miles/3 km.
