Medina trip planner

Most tourism in Medina, the second-holiest city in Islam, comes from pilgrims who visit as part of the Hajj, an annual traditional journey that ends in Mecca. As an important sacred destination, Medina attracts a largely Muslim contingent, with non-Muslim visitors not allowed in the city center (trying to enter without a pilgrim visa will result in deportation from the country). The most famous sight in Medina is undoubtedly the Grand Mosque, the final resting place of the Prophet Muhammad, while a plethora of markets, shopping malls, and restaurants line the city streets. In the build up to your vacation in Medina, plan trip itinerary minutiae using the visitor reviews, staff write-ups, and custom search fields on our Saudi Arabia vacation route planner.
