Things to Do in Medina

The main draw is the tomb of the prophet located beneath the ornate domes of the Mosque of the Prophet, 21 kilometres from the airport. The Maqbaratu l-Baqi' cemetery, situated southeast of the city centre and within walking distance of the central hotels, is another attraction. Rumoured to be the largest cemetery in the world, Baqi houses the family and over 20,000 companions of the Prophet Muhammad. Complete your tour at the Qiblatayn Mosque, less than 1 kilometre from the city centre and the oldest mosque in the world.

Getting to & Around Medina

After arriving at Medina's Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz International Airport, head outside where a line of taxis will be waiting to take you to your Medina accommodation. Prices are fixed and published on the official airport website. Women are not allowed to drive in the City, and men must possess a Saudi driver's license to hire a car (available to book on Wotif). Taxi travel is also easily arranged through the concierge of your Medina hotel. Brush up your bartering skills to avoid paying the "naive tourist" premium!

No matter what your Medina holiday budget, Wotif has a wide range of great value hotels and flights to Medina to suit you. Easily find and book your next holiday with us and you’ll soon be immersed in a new culture in the City of the Prophet.
