Day 1 | Afternoon

Mosque of Quba nearby is the top choice before you leave Al Masjid an Nabawi (The Prophet’s Mosque) and hit the road.

Mosque of Quba

Recommended Length of Stay: 1.0-2.0 Hours

Location: 3493 Al Hijrah Rd, Al Khatim, Medina 42318

When moving from Mecca to Medina in 622, the Prophet Muhammad and his seekers stopped at the village of Quba and laid down the cornerstone of the world's first mosque. Believers have gathered here since then, but the building today is a relatively recent one. This mosque and its surrounding area were once outside the borders of the medina, but today, they are part of the medina and are crowded with tourists. The nearby Quba City Market sells dates, perfumes and other local specialties.
