Itinerary

Start your journey in the sacred city of Medina with hotel pickup in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle. Your knowledgeable, English-speaking tour leader/driver will ensure a smooth and insightful experience throughout the tour.

Your first stop is the awe-inspiring Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, also known as the Prophet’s Mosque. Built by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), it’s the second-holiest site in Islam and a deeply spiritual place for Muslims around the world. Admire its magnificent architecture, the serene ambiance, and the peaceful courtyards.

Continue to Masjid Ad Dar, one of the earliest mosques associated with the life of the Prophet and his companions. Then, travel to the Battle of Uhud site. Walk in the footsteps of history where the Muslims faced their most challenging battle, and reflect on the sacrifices made here.

Next, visit Masjid Al Qiblatayn, the mosque where the Prophet (PBUH) received the divine command to change the direction of prayer (Qibla) from Jerusalem to Mecca. This is a profound moment in Islamic history.

Travel onward to the site of the Battle of the Trench, where the early Muslim community defended Medina by digging a massive trench—a brilliant military strategy that altered the course of Islamic history.

Nearby, explore the Quba Mosque, the first mosque built in Islam. Its peaceful surroundings and historical roots make it a cherished stop for pilgrims.

Then pass through the As-Salam Gate, one of the original and most revered entrances of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, symbolizing peace and serenity. Continue your drive along Abu Bakr Al Siddiq Road, named after the Prophet’s closest companion and the first Caliph of Islam.

Breathe in the blessed air as you stroll along the Wadi Al-Aqiq Walkway, a scenic valley praised by the Prophet (PBUH) himself. This peaceful natural trail offers a moment of reflection and spiritual connection.

End your tour with a visit to Al-Noor Mall, Medina’s largest shopping and leisure center. Browse a variety of shops, enjoy local snacks, or simply relax before heading back to your hotel in comfort.

Throughout the tour, you’ll enjoy flexibility to tailor the experience to your pace and interests.
