Harab Rasheed
Commonly visited places
- Masjid Quba — the first mosque built in Islam; many pilgrims pray two rak'ahs there.
- Mount Uhud — site of the Battle of Uhud, with the graves of the martyrs, including Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him).
- Masjid al-Qiblatain — the mosque associated with the change of the qiblah. It was opened to worshippers 24 hours a day by royal order in October 2025.
- The Khandaq area (the Seven Mosques) — linked to the Battle of the Trench.
- Jannat al-Baqi — the cemetery beside Masjid an-Nabawi, where many Companions and members of the Prophet's family ﷺ are buried. It opens to visitors at set times each day, but we have found no officially published schedule, so ask the mosque staff on arrival — including about the arrangements for women.
Planning
- Half a day covers the main sites by car.
- Go early to avoid heat; carry water.
- Combine with a Rawdah slot on a different day so neither is rushed.
