Medina is the second holiest city in Islam, centred around the Prophet’s Mosque (the burial site of Muhammad, marked by its iconic green dome). Visitors can explore the Quba Mosque, the first mosque in Islam, and the Medina Museum, and take a stroll through the old town with its white-walled, domed architecture. Non-Muslims are not permitted to enter the core area of the holy mosque, but may admire the surrounding structures from outside. The local cuisine strictly follows halal traditions; must-try dishes include Kabsa, Mandi, Shawarma wraps, Ful breakfast, and date-braised chicken, while the dessert Za’adi, made from dates and nuts, is a representative treat.
