MEDINAH

Historically known as Yathrib, Al Madinah was established in the 6th century B.C. It is celebrated as the place where Muhammad established the Muslim community. Al Madinah is steeped in Islamic heritage, and it is home to the Quba Mosque (the first mosque built in Islam) as well as the Prophet’s Mosque, which is considered to be the second-holiest mosque after Makkah’s Grand Mosque. Yathrib came to prominence centuries ago because of its location; it sits among various trade routes and has unique geographical features, including mountains, plains, oases, and gold, silver and copper mines. Al Madinah receives millions of Muslims from all around the world on their religious journeys each year, though both Muslims and non-Muslims are free to explore Al Madinah’s many attractions. These include Jabal Uhud, Jabal Al Rayah, Archers’ Hill and Jabal Thawr, all of which hold historical and religious importance, as well as Al Madinah Museum and the Dar Al Madinah Museum, where guests can explore the city’s roots.
