Description
Your tour leader and driver will meet you holding a sign with your name, so you do not need to search for them. They will provide full attention throughout the tour, sharing detailed information as you travel between locations.
The tour begins at Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, the mosque built by the Islamic prophet Muhammad in Medina, Al Madinah Province.
Next, visit Masjid Ad Dar before driving to the site of the Battle of Uhud, a notable Medina landmark.
Then, visit Masjid Al Qiblatayn, where the direction of prayer was changed from Jerusalem to Mecca following a command received by Muhammad.
Proceed to the site of the Battle of the Trench, named after the defensive trench dug by Muslims during the battle.
Visit Quba Mosque on Medina’s outskirts. Originally built 6 kilometres from the city, Quba was eventually enveloped by Medina’s expansion.
Continue to the as-Salam Gate, one of the oldest gates of Masjid al-Nabawi, originally constructed by Caliph Omar around 640 CE. The gate has been relocated during mosque expansions.
While driving along Abu Bakr Al Siddiq Road, stop at the Wadi al-Aqiq walkway. This valley on Medina’s western side was called the ‘blessed valley’ by the Prophet Muhammad.
The tour ends at Al-Noor Mall, Medina’s largest shopping mall by size and store count, popular with residents and tourists.
