Madinah Saudi Arabia

Medina is one of Islam’s two holiest cities, making it a key destination for millions of pilgrims traveling to Saudi Arabia for Hajj or Umrah. The city is centered around Al Masjid an Nabawi, also known as the Prophet’s Mosque, which was constructed by the Prophet himself (PBUH) and is also where he is buried. Medina is where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) lived and taught after the migration from Makkah in 622 A.D., called Hijrah. This year is so important in the history of Islam since it marks the start of the Islamic calendar. Although the city’s name is usually written as Medina in English, its full name is Al Madinah Al Munawwarah, meaning “the Enlightened City.” Because of the city’s pivotal role in the Prophet Muhammad’s life (PBUH), making a trip to Medina is a lifelong dream for many Muslims.
