Saudi Arabia: Stops On A Medina Tour
Explore Medina, Islam's second holiest city, on a curated tour to iconic sites like Masjid Quba, Mount Uhud, and the Seven Mosques. Travel in comfort and immerse yourself in Medina's rich history and sacred traditions.
Overview
Medina, revered as the second holiest city in Islam, is a destination of profound spiritual and historical significance. This sacred city, often referred to as the "City of the Prophet," is home to numerous landmarks that are deeply intertwined with the life of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and the early days of Islam. Our carefully planned tour offers you a chance to explore Medina's most iconic sites, blending historical insights with moments of reflection and tranquility.
Your journey begins with Masjid Quba, the first mosque built by Muslims. Located on the outskirts of Medina, this mosque is a symbol of unity and devotion, built by the Prophet (ﷺ) himself upon his migration from Mecca. Visiting Masjid Quba is not only a chance to marvel at its architectural simplicity but also to connect with the spirit of early Islam.
Next, you'll visit Masjid al-Qiblatayn, famously known as the mosque where the Qiblah (direction of prayer) was changed from Jerusalem to Mecca by divine command. This transformative event holds great importance in Islamic history, and the mosque stands as a testament to the unwavering faith of the early Muslim community.
Our journey continues to Jannatul Baqi, Medina's principal cemetery and the resting place of many of the Prophet's family members, companions, and early Muslim figures. This serene and solemn site invites reflection on the lives and legacies of those who played pivotal roles in shaping Islamic history.
From Jannatul Baqi, you'll head to Mount Uhud, a place of historical and spiritual resonance. This mountain witnessed the famous Battle of Uhud, where courage, sacrifice, and faith were tested. At its base lies the grave of Hamzah ibn Abdul Muttalib, the Prophet’s beloved uncle and a revered martyr.
The tour also includes a visit to the Garden of Salman Farsi, a peaceful space where the Prophet (ﷺ) planted 300 date palms to help free his companion Salman Farsi from slavery. This garden is a living symbol of compassion and perseverance, offering a quiet moment of connection to a remarkable story.
Continuing on, you’ll explore Masjid Ghamama, where the Prophet (ﷺ) performed Eid prayers. The mosque, with its distinctive dome and compact structure, is a modest yet significant reminder of the simplicity and piety of the Prophet’s life.
Another highlight is Masjid Jummah, where the Prophet (ﷺ) led the first Friday prayer after migrating to Medina. This historic mosque marks the unity and strength of the early Muslim community as they established their new home.
Finally, the tour concludes with a visit to The Seven Mosques (Sab'u Masajid), a group of historic mosques closely tied to the events of the Battle of the Trench. Despite their name, there are six mosques in this cluster, each with its own unique story and significance.
Throughout the tour, you will travel in the comfort of a private, air-conditioned vehicle, ensuring a relaxing and enriching experience. At the end of your journey, you may choose to visit nearby shopping malls for a taste of modern Medina or return directly to your hotel.
This tour offers a harmonious blend of spirituality, history, and culture, making it an unforgettable journey through the heart of Medina. Whether you are seeking deeper religious insight, historical knowledge, or simply a peaceful exploration of sacred sites, this tour provides a unique and fulfilling experience.
