Know before you go

Medina is one of Islam's two holiest cities, making it a key destination for millions of pilgrims travelling to Saudi Arabia for Hajj or Umrah. The city is centred around Al Masjid al Nabawi, also known as the Prophet's Mosque, which was constructed by the Prophet himself and is also where he is buried. Medina is where the Prophet Muhammad lived and taught after the migration from Makkah in 622 A.D., called Hijrah. This year is so important in the history of Islam that it marks the start of the Islamic calendar. Although the city's name is usually written as Medina in English, its full name is Al Medina Al Munawwarah, meaning "the Enlightened City." Because of the city's pivotal role in the Prophet Muhammad's life, making a trip to Medina is a lifelong dream for many Muslims.
