Here are the top things you must do when you visit the holy city of Medina:

Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) Mosque (Masjid an-Nabwi):

Masjid an-Nabwi was rebuilt by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and His companions. Today, the Prophet’s Mosque comprises a comprehensive complex of buildings and structures covering most of the area. The Mosque has enough places where Muslims can sit, do prayers, offer Nafl Rakats, and a lot of other holy activities. For Muslims, this Mosque is the most significant to visit after Masjid al-Haram.

 

Quba Mosque:

The Quba Mosque, also called the Masjid Quba, remains one of Islam’s earliest and most important mosques of Medina. You should know that this is the first Mosque of Islam built by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and His followers in 622 CE. This Mosque also has a complex and fascinating structure, including four minarets 47 meters high, 62 domes, and 50 by 50 cubits. As a Muslim, if you can visit Medina, don’t miss this opportunity to tour the Quba Mosque.

 

Qiblatain Mosque:

The Masjid al-Qiblatain, ‘Mosque of the Two Qiblah,’ is a mosque in Medina that is historically significant for Muslims. This is where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was commanded to change the Qiblah (Direction of Prayer) from Jerusalem to Mecca. The Masjid was rebuilt by King Fahd in 1987. You should know that this is located near the site of Battle Uhud. 

 

Visit Mount Uhud:

Located in the northern region of Medina, Mount Uhud stands tall at 3533 feet, marking the historic battleground of the second clash between pagans and Muslims. This mountain draws in a diverse array of tourists and Muslims from across the globe, eager to capture themselves in its rich historical and spiritual place. Mount Uhud offers visitors/pilgrims a new experience of Islamic culture. Beyond its historical fame, the mountain provides opportunities for great adventure activities such as rock climbing, making it an adaptable place that serves enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers.

 

Al-Baqi’ Cemetery:

The word Baqi means a plot that contains plants. It is related to the word ‘Biqa,’ meaning a large land area, although Baqi specifically refers to land containing plants or trees. It has the graves of many prominent members of the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) family, as well as graves of His followers/companions, scholars, and righteous people.

 

Old Bazaar (Souq):

Souq is a unique old combination of marketplaces that runs side by side. In the past, it was a home of fabric and gold trading. Take a relaxing stroll along the waterfront and explore the shops offering products, spices and herbs, henna, clothes and textiles, perfumes and oils, spices and fragrances, palm leaf baskets, dates, etc. Larger stores also sell Arabic clothing and accessories, cosmetics and perfumes, and several ladies’ clothes.

If you plan to stay there and want to spend some critical time in the Masjid an-Nabwi, visit in Ramadan by booking Ramadan Umrah Packages. May your visit will go well and memorable!
