Medina, you have to visit it before you die

It is holy city for all Muslims over the world, so it is consider second choice after Mecca. Both of these holy cities are located in Saudi Arabia. It is a bit overcrowded and overpriced in Ramadan and Hajj seasons, these are two specific months, most of Muslims prefer to visit the holy places at. However, it is a good value for money if tourists come at a different time.
 
Medina has areas and suburbs which surrounded by hugh mounts such as Uhod and Ayr, all  this areas have very different characters and identities. I would recommend visiting prophet Mohammed mosque and make sure you book a hotel near to it. Do not miss visiting sultana street which located in city centre. where you can found different restaurant to eat in and many coffee to drink in, but I suggest going straight to Albaik restaurant which serve a the best traditional fray chicken meals in whole middle east
 
It has Islamic University in Madinah which is the biggest one around the world , it graduates more than 2500 students every year. No body deny that Medina has a long tradition of welcoming visitors student from around the world, many of whom have settled here permanently
 
I found it a safe place to live and is home to community, because of a diverse and multi-ethnic society, where students of all backgrounds are welcome and their involvement in local communities is valued
 
One thing to be wary of is having a private car very important to travel from place to place , because Madina does not have public transport . also wearing a scarf for women whom want visit Medina .
