Madinah is a place for prayer, reflection, and meditation. Like the city of Makkah, it is home to one of Islam’s most sacred sites, the second holiest and second largest mosque in all of Islam. This is Masjid An Nabawi or the Prophet’s Mosque, so named because it was built by the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) himself. Unlike Makkah, however, Madinah feels a little more laid-back and a little less busy.
That’s not to say that Madinah does not welcome its fair share of visitors on a mission to visit some of Islam’s most important historical sites. Aside from Masjid An Nabawi, other places of interest include Archer’s Hill in front of Mount Uhud and Masjid Shuhada Uhud, a mosque that marks the Battle of Uhud and beside which the martyred companions of the Prophet (PBUH) lay buried.
If you want a restful stay during your visit to The Enlightened City, book your accommodation at one of the 5-star hotels in Madinah.
While there are many Madinah hotels, 5 stars (or the five-star designation, to be exact) are a good indicator of quality. Only the best hotels in Madinah can obtain such a classification. At a 5-star hotel, you can expect world-class amenities and facilities and stay in plushly appointed spacious rooms with exacting standards of cleanliness.
Especially in Madinah hotels, 5 stars also often designate hotels located just a few steps from the city’s central feature, Masjid An Nabawi, and offer incredible mosque views from their best rooms. Some of the 5-star hotels that are conveniently close to Masjid An Nabawi are Zamzam Pullman Madinah and Millennium Taiba Hotel Madinah, both of which are just a few hundred metres away from the grand mosque.
