Most Umrah packages include a stay in Madinah, the city of the Prophet ﷺ. It has a calm, spiritual atmosphere quite different from Makkah, and there is much to experience.
Masjid an-Nabawi
The Prophet’s Mosque is the heart of Madinah. Aim to pray here as often as you can. Many pilgrims try to visit the Rawdah, the blessed area between the Prophet’s resting place and his pulpit, which now operates a booking system to manage crowds.
Send salutations upon the Prophet ﷺ
Visiting the resting place of the Prophet ﷺ to send salaam is a cherished part of the journey. Do so calmly and with respect, following the etiquette guided by the mosque staff.
Historic sites to visit
- Quba Mosque — praying here is greatly rewarded; the first mosque in Islam.
- Mount Uhud — reflect on the Battle of Uhud and visit the martyrs’ graves.
- Masjid al-Qiblatayn — where the Qiblah was changed towards the Kaaba.
- The date markets — buy Ajwa and other dates to bring home.
Make the most of the calm
Madinah’s peaceful pace is ideal for reflection, extra prayer and reading Quran. Many pilgrims describe it as the most spiritually restful part of their trip.
