Medina among the places to visit in Saudi Arabia contains a mosque that is considered to be one of the holiest sites in Islam. Medina is located on the outskirts of big cities like Riyadh and Jeddah, which makes it very accessible from these larger cities as well as various surrounding countries such as Kuwait and Bahrain. The city has a long history dating back to the time when Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) migrated there from Mecca near 622 CE. Medina is one of Islam’s holiest cities and the birthplace of Islam — it was also once nicknamed "City of Light."
The city is home to historical landmarks such as The Prophet's Mosque, Al-Masjid al Nabawi, which houses the Islamic holy scriptures; Abdullah Ibn Masood's Tomb; and several others. Medina is a historical treasure trove of antiquities. You can soak up the culture in the shadow of grand structures, whether you're scaling the minaret-laden Qubbat Al-Himar, exploring Djinn Palace, or wandering along Mohammad's Way. You could take a tour by horseback around town or taste local delicacies at one of Medina's many restaurants.
