Welcome to
Medina
Saudi Arabia
Medina is Islam's second holiest city — the city to which the Prophet Muhammad migrated from Mecca in 622 CE, the Hijra that marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. The Prophet's Mosque, Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, was built by Muhammad himself and contains his tomb, making it one of the most visited and revered sacred sites in the world. The city receives millions of Muslim pilgrims annually, many combining the visit with the Hajj or Umrah pilgrimage to nearby Mecca, and its atmosphere of devotion, hospitality, and spiritual weight is profound for all who visit with the appropriate respect and intention.
