MADINAH — Madinah welcomes a large number of worshipers from across the Kingdom, including both citizens and expatriates, who gather to enjoy the Eid Al-Adha holiday in a spiritually enriching atmosphere. The arrival of residents in Madinah coincides with the departure of pilgrims heading to Makkah and the holy sites to perform Hajj rituals.

Experiencing Madinah during these blessed days offers visitors an excellent opportunity, with ease of movement and low congestion facilitating the smooth performance of prayers at the Prophet’s Mosque. In addition, visitors can explore historical sites and Islamic landmarks that are beautifully distributed throughout the region.

Many visitors are keen to stay in hotels and residential accommodations near the Prophet’s Mosque, seeking to immerse themselves in an atmosphere of devotion and worship. They hope to make the most of these days by fasting on the Day of Arafat and joining fellow worshippers for iftar meals in the mosque’s courtyards.

The central area around the Prophet’s Mosque remains bustling with visitors, drawn by its vibrant commercial markets and restaurants. Smooth traffic flow and the well-organized services, supervised by relevant security and service agencies, enhance visitor comfort and ensure the highest standards of care.
