Medina, officially Al-Madinah al-Munawwarah or 'The Enlightened City', is the second holiest city in Islam, offering a unique atmosphere of profound peace and spiritual tranquillity in the Hejaz region of western Saudi Arabia. You will find that Medina perfectly blends its deep cultural roots with modern advancements. You can visit Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, the Prophet's Mosque, which is the city’s central and most revered landmark, featuring the iconic Green Dome. Other historically significant sites include the Quba Mosque, which holds the honour of being the first mosque founded by the Prophet Muhammad, and the Baqi' Cemetery, the final resting place of many early Islamic figures.
