Madinah

Madinah, home to the Prophet’s Mosque (Al-Masjid an-Nabawi), is a place of deep spiritual and historical importance. Beyond religious sites, visitors can explore Quba Mosque (the first mosque in Islam), Uhud Mountain, and Al-Baqi Cemetery. The city is also home to Islamic museums, bustling markets, and historical landmarks. Unlike Makkah, non-Muslims are allowed to visit many cultural sites in Madinah.

History

Madinah was originally called Yathrib and became significant in 622 AD when Prophet Muhammad migrated from Makkah (Hijrah), marking the beginning of the Islamic calendar. The city played a crucial role in the spread of Islam and remained a center of knowledge and trade for centuries.
