Introduction to Medina (Al Madinah Province, Saudi Arabia)

Welcome to Medina, officially known as Al Madinah Al Munawwarah (The Radiant City), the second holiest city in Islam, located in the Hejaz region of western Saudi Arabia. In fact, Medina is renowned worldwide as the city to which Prophet Muhammad migrated (Hijra) from Mecca, the place where he established the first Islamic state, and his final resting place. Furthermore, it is home to Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (the Prophet’s Mosque), one of Islam’s most significant mosques, which contains the tomb of Prophet Muhammad, and is a major pilgrimage destination for Muslims performing Hajj or Umrah, or visiting for Ziyarat (visitation of holy places). The city also holds numerous other important historical and religious sites, such as Quba Mosque and Masjid al-Qiblatayn, and is known for its tranquil atmosphere and production of dates.

Additionally, Medina and its surroundings are rich with sites of deep religious and historical importance. For example, Al-Masjid an-Nabawi is the central focus, with its distinctive Green Dome over the Prophet’s tomb, the Rawdah ash-Sharifah (a revered area within the mosque), and vast prayer halls. Quba Mosque, located on the outskirts of Medina, is recognized as the first mosque built in Islam. Masjid al-Qiblatayn (the Mosque of the Two Qiblas) is historically significant as the site where the direction of prayer (Qibla) was changed from Jerusalem to Mecca. Mount Uhud, the site of the historic Battle of Uhud, is another important landmark for visitation. Jannat al-Baqi is a historic cemetery holding the graves of many of the Prophet’s family members and companions. The Dar Al Madinah Museum offers insights into the city’s history and Islamic heritage. The Seven Mosques site (Masjid Sab’a) and the dates market are also popular places for visitors.

Consequently, reaching this sacred city, primarily via Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport (MED) in Medina itself, or through King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) in Jeddah followed by travel on the Haramain High Speed Railway or by road, and navigating its holy sites requires well-organized, respectful, and reliable transportation.
