Saudia Arabia is a house to many important and historical Islamic Landmarks. Despite that, a significant part of Islamic History remains associated with it. As a matter of fact, Islam originated from here. The only Qibla (Holy Kaabah) for Muslims is also here. Every year tens of millions of Muslim pilgrims arrive here through their cheap umrah packages London and all other cities of the world. They stay here; offer the holy rituals; go for Ziyarath and also buy souvenirs for their closed ones.

Here are the best places to Visit in Saudia Arabia.

Masjid-al-Haram.

Masjid-al-Haram is present in the city of Makkah. It is the most sacred mosque for Muslims present on the Earth. It is the 1st of the three most sacred mosques. The Masjid-al-Haram contains;

• Holy Kaabah.
• Maqam-e-Ibrahim.
• The Zamzam well.
• Hajar-e-Aswad.
• The hills of Safah and Marwah.
• Hateem or Hijr Ismail.

Everything is here. The Annual pilgrimage of Muslims; Hajj remains also performed here by nearly 5 million pilgrims. On the other hand, Umrah rituals also take place here all around the year by almost 20 million Muslims from all over the world.

Jannat-ul-Baqi.

Jannat-ul-Baqi is the holy graveyard in Madinah. It was the first Islamic cemetery of Madinah. Here many close companions of Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) are resting; family and friends as well. It is the ultimate desire of every Muslim to be buried in Jannat-ul-Baqi.

Masjid-al-Nabawi.

Masjid-al-Nabawi is the 2nd most sacred mosque in the world. The foundation of Masjid-al-Nabawi was laid by Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) himself. It was the first Islamic Mosque of Madinah. During those times, Masjid-al-Nabawi was more than a mosque. It served as a community centre, a detention centre for prisoners, an educational school and also a court. Today, Masjid-al-Nabawi is the resting place of Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW); Roza-e-Rasool is here.

Muslim pilgrims arriving for Hajj/Umrah through their travel packages including Ramadan umrah packages from Manchester, also come to Masjid-al-Nabawi after the completion of pilgrimage in Makkah. It’s not an obligation to visits it but every Muslim does so in love of Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW). Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) said about it that;
(description) One Salah in Masjid-al-Nabawi is better than a 1000 Salah in any other Masjid on the world except Masjid-al-Haram.

Masjid-al-Qiblatayn.

Masjid-al-Qiblatayn is situated in Madinah. It remains among the most important Masjid of Islam which also has a strong association with Islamic History. It is the Masjid in which the Qibla direction of Islam was changed from Masjid-al-Aqsa in Jerusalem to Holy Kaabah inside Masjid-al-Haram in Makkah. During a prayer, Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) received a revelation from Allah Almighty and the direction was changed. That’s how it is known as Masjid-al-Qiblatayn (the Mosque of two Qiblas).

The Cave of Hira.

The cave of Hira is situated close to Makkah. Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) used to go there and pray. In fact, the first revelation of the Holy Quran also took place there.

In addition to this, there are quite a lot of best Islamic/Ziyarath and historical places that you can visit in Saudia Arabia.
