Masjid al-Qiblatain
Madinah is calm, close and easy on the budget. Over several trips I've done almost every ziyarat around the city. Here's how, with what it cost.
The 10-riyal ziyarat bus
Right after Fajr, local pilgrim buses leave near Masjid an-Nabawi for a loop of the main sites. Ours cost 10 riyal.
The stops, in order:
- Mount Uhud: the battlefield, and the resting place of Sayyidna Hamza (R.A) with the martyrs of Uhud.
- Masjid al-Qiblatain: the mosque where the direction of prayer was changed from Masjid al-Aqsa to the Kaaba.
- The Saba Masajid (Seven Mosques) at Khandaq: the site of the trench dug to defend Madinah.
- Masjid Quba: the first mosque in Islam. Pray two rakat here; there's great reward in it.
- The garden of Hazrat Usman (R.A): date palms that still belong to his endowment. You'll see fresh dates on the trees.
Private tours are more expensive; one we saw advertised was 80 SAR. The 10-riyal bus covers the same main stops.
Jannat al-Baqi, after Asr
Jannat al-Baqi is right next to Masjid an-Nabawi. I went after Asr, through the crowd barriers near the Green Dome.
Inside you'll see simple sand mounds in the sunnah way, small markers identifying graves, and the fenced area around the resting place of Hazrat Usman Ghani (R.A). In Ramadan the crowds are huge; outside peak season it's far more peaceful.
