Medina Banner

Medina, also known as Madinah, is Medina Province’s capital in the Hejaz region. As the first capital of Islam it has huge historical and religious importance, and it’s considered one of the holiest cities in the world. Many of the charming landmarks are characterized by domes, spires, and arches, and people come from all over the world to see this beautifully alluring place for themselves.

The city is also recognized for its hospitable community, local cuisine, and lively shops and bazaars. One thing is certain: your trip to Medina will be a special one. And with flynas, you can enjoy bespoke traveler options to make it your best holiday yet.   


Attractions and Things to do

Medina

Medina holds abundant religious, historical, and cultural significance, but that’s not all. You’ll also find plenty of parks, shopping malls, and traditional cuisine to explore. Here are the best places to visit in Medina. 

  • Prophet’s Mosque

No trip to Medina would be complete without visiting the Prophet’s Mosque, otherwise known as Al-Masjid an-Nabawi. It was built by Prophet Muhammed in AD 622 and became his final resting place. The Green Dome is an icon of the city, and the stately interiors feature ornate pillars, arches, and courtyards. The scale of the building is truly breathtaking – it’s permanently open, and can accommodate up to one million people. 

  • Uhud Mountain 

Located in the north of Medina, 13 km from the center, Mount Uhud holds huge historical significance. It was home to the major Battle of Uhud in 625 AD during the Muslim-Quraysh War. While many visit for its spiritual value, it is also among Saudi’s tallest peaks, making it an excellent place to appreciate the region’s scenic beauty. The rocky terrain makes an ideal trail for those who enjoy hiking. 

  • Dar almadina Museum 

Get to know more about the captivating history of Medina and its epic journey from past to present. Nestled in the Knowledge Economic City in what was once the Hejaz railway, you’ll find 2,000 exhibits that tell Medina’s story through models and artifacts. Many of these are dedicated to depicting the Hijrah Road and its historical incidents. If you’re traveling with children, the Madina Media Museum is another great option. 


Experience new activities in Medina

  • Check out some local Saudi artists 

Experience the Medina Art Center within King Fahd Park. These captivating exhibitions, set in a contemporary Islamic-style building, have been bringing some of Saudi’s leading artists to new audiences since 2018. The space aims to act as a showcase for the city’s culture, consisting of a main hall, library, multiple galleries, and an outside relaxation space. 

 

  • Explore market souqs and modern malls 

Medina’s markets and souks offer a lively shopping experience. Only a few minutes stroll from The Prophet's Mosque is the famous Old Bazaar, a bustling market packed with clothes, jewelry, souvenirs, rugs, and more. Medina’s local delicacy is the Ajwa date, and this is the perfect place to try some for yourself. You’ll also find many modern malls to enjoy, with Al Noor Mall being the most popular, alongside Alqarrat and Al Rashid Mega Mall. 

 

  • Take a family trip to Albaidha Park 

This picturesque nature park attracts visitors from all over Saudi Arabia. Come for a day or camp with family, enjoying camel riding, sand bikes, and barbecueing. Buy an ice cream from one of the carts and sit down to watch the sunset — here you’ll see Medina’s landscape at its best.
