Detailed itinerary
1
The Prophet's Mosque is the second mosque built by the Islamic prophet Muhammad in Medina, after that of Quba, as well as the second largest mosque and holiest site in Islam, after the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, in the Saudi region of the Hejaz.
2
Battle of Uhud: Fought in 625 AD the Battle of Uhud is the second greatest battle fought between the Muslim army under the leadership of Prophet Muhammad and the leaders of the Quraysh. The Battle of Uhud took place in the name of revenge one year after the Battle of Badr and three years following the migration to Madinah.
3
The Qiblatain Mosque got its name because the Prophet led the residents in prayer. While leading, he received a revelation commanding him to turn towards the Kaaba. Initially, he was facing Jerusalem, and then he turned towards the Kaaba in Makkah. As a result, this mosque became a monument that bears witness to one of the most important events in the history of Islam.
4
Al-Ihn Well: One of the prophetic wells that were associated with the biography of the Prophet. The Prophet passed by it, performed ablution with its water, and changed its name from Al-Asirah to Al-Yasira, and so made its memory go down in history.
5
Quba Mosque is the first mosque built by Muslims in Madinah. It is said that praying in this mosque equals one 'Umrah for those who make ablution at home and go out intending to offer prayer in it.
6
Urwa bin Al-Zubayr Palace: It is the most famous of all historical palaces that were built on the edges of Al-Aqiq Valley. The Palace is an emblem of defiance and steadfastness in the face of the forces of nature. It was built on a high hill overlooking the edges of Al-Aqiq Valley in the west of Madinah.
