Medina Essentials

Medina serves as the second holiest city in Islam, defined by Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, the final resting place of the Prophet Muhammad. The city preserves foundational Islamic history at the Quba Mosque, the first built by the Prophet, and Masjid al-Qiblatayn, where the direction of prayer was changed toward Mecca. Beyond its spiritual landmarks, the city features the Ottoman-era Hejaz Railway Museum and the Uhud battlefield. The central market offers a vast selection of Ajwa dates, a local specialty deeply rooted in the region's traditions.
