History of Madinah City

Madinah is the second holiest city in Islam, with huge religious and authentic hugeness to Muslims. Get familiar with the City of the Prophet, and discover a rundown of must-see locales in and around the city. Madinah is otherwise called Madinah Al-Nabi (The City of the Prophet) or Madinah Al-Munawwarah (The Enlightened City), or Medina in short. In old occasions, the city was known as Yathrib. Found 450 kilometres (200+ miles) north of Makkah, Yathrib was a rural focus in the brutal desert scene of the Arabian Peninsula. Favoured with a copious water supply, the city of Yathrib turned into a ceasing point for processions going through, and its natives.
