The Radiant City

Madinah

Experience the peace and serenity of the City of the Prophet ﷺ.

المدينة المنورة

Travellers often arrive in Madinah expecting a second Makkah and find something else entirely: slower, softer, unhurried. It is the part of the journey people most often wish they had given another day to — so we make the extra night easy to add.

The green dome of Masjid an-Nabawi
01

Masjid an-Nabawi

المسجد النبوي

The Prophet's Mosque, built by his own hands and expanded by every century since. Its marble piazza is shaded by great retractable umbrellas that open each morning, and the call to prayer here carries a quality that visitors remember long after returning home.

The Rawdah

الروضة الشريفة

The garden between the Prophet's ﷺ house and his pulpit, described by him as one of the gardens of Paradise. Access is by timed permit through the Nusuk app; we make the reservation for you and advise on the calmest slots.

Quba Mosque in Madinah

Quba Mosque

مسجد قباء

The first mosque built in Islam. Two rak'ah prayed here carry the reward of an Umrah, and it sits a short drive from the city centre — the first stop on every ziyarah we run.

Ziyarah

Important places

Sites included in, or easily added to, our guided ziyarah in Madinah.

Jannat al-Baqi

The cemetery beside the mosque where many of the Companions and members of the Prophet's ﷺ household are buried. Open to visitors at set hours each day.

Mount Uhud

The site of the battle of Uhud and the graves of its martyrs, including Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib. A short drive north of the city.

Masjid al-Qiblatain

The mosque of the two qiblas, where the direction of prayer was changed towards Makkah mid-prayer.

The Seven Mosques

A cluster of small historic mosques at the site of the Battle of the Trench, on the western edge of the city.

The date gardens

Madinah's ajwa dates are grown just outside the city. Our ziyarah includes a stop where you can taste and buy directly.

Wadi al-Jinn and the outskirts

For guests staying longer, the volcanic plains north of Madinah make a striking half-day drive.

Travel tips

Practical advice for Madinah

Small things that make the biggest difference.

01

Book the Rawdah early

Permits open a set number of days ahead and are taken quickly. Give us your dates and we will secure the slot.

02

Use the piazza

The courtyard fills long before the mosque does. Arriving twenty minutes early usually means praying inside.

03

Note your gate

Masjid an-Nabawi has more than forty numbered gates. Photograph yours on the way in.

04

Leave time for nothing in particular

The city rewards unstructured hours more than any itinerary we could write for you.
