The best things to see and do in Madinah Al Munawwarah

When you’re in Madinah Al Munawwarah, make sure to include these sites and activities in your itinerary:

1. See the Prophet’s Mosque. The highlight of any visit to Madinah Al Munawwarah is the Al Masjid an Nabawi, the final resting place of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Consisting of 10 minarets with a capacity of 1 million visitors, this stunning mosque is a significant part of Muslim history since the Prophet helped in its construction. He also spent a lot of time teaching in this mosque, which is why it’s a dream destination for Muslims.
2. Visit Mount Uhud. Another important pilgrimage site for Muslims is Mount Uhud, the site where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) led the Muslim forces in the second most important battle in early Islamic history (3rd Shawwal 3 AH) to fight the Quraish troops from Makkah. The Muslims had an initial edge under the leadership of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). However, they lost for celebrating the victory too early by leaving their positions. You’ll also visit the Uhud Martyr’s Cemetery where 85 of the Muslim martyrs were buried. 
3. Experience the Quba Mosque. Before the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) built the Prophet’s Mosque, he laid the foundation for the first mosque in the world, which is now called the Quba Mosque, another significant site for Muslim pilgrims. After visiting the mosque, don’t forget to drop by the Quba city market where you can shop for dates, perfumes, and other products sold by local vendors.
