Medina's Hidden Gems

Beyond the Prophet's Mosque, Medina preserves significant historical sites like the Quba Mosque, the first mosque in Islamic history, and Masjid Ghamama, known for its distinct Ottoman-era domes. The Hejaz Railway Museum, housed in a restored station, showcases early 20th-century locomotives. For panoramic views, the summit of Mount Uhud offers a vantage point over the battlefield of 625 AD. The central Dates Market provides access to regional varieties like the Ajwa date, while local mosques like Masjid Fathiya Zaki Safar offer quiet spaces for reflection.
