Islam's second holiest city, resting place of the Prophet, whose sacred core is open to Muslims only.

📍 Destination Overview

Medina, in western Saudi Arabia, is Islam's second holiest city after Mecca, where the Prophet Muhammad founded the first Muslim community and rests. Its centrepiece, the majestic Prophet's Mosque, holds his tomb beneath the iconic Green Dome, with Quba Mosque and Mount Uhud nearby. Note: the holy core is open only to Muslims; this is a religious introduction, not a visitor guide.
