Madinah : The City of Prophet

Hi all long time no see you, I'm gonna tell you about my last holiday in Medina, Saudi Arabia. Yes it is truly a "holy" day.And here it goes my report ...


Intro...
 Medina is a city located in Saudi Arabia. Medina is also called as the prophet city of moslem, coz there is the second largest mosque of moslem. In this mosque, we have the sanctuary of our greatest prophet, Muhammad.

Food...
Not only religion, Medina also has it popular cuisine called Kebab. Favorite Dish: Mixed salad that contains Hummos and other type of lebanese salad,Kebab,Faitr
all the foods are good,always try their natural juice,i love orange&mango

Things to do...
Dates:
 The city of Madinah is famous for its dates for centuries. Date farming is an important part of the local economy. There are various types of dates sold at the date farms around Madinah. The more popular types are the Al-Ajoh, Al-Safawi, Al-Shalabi, Al-Rothanh and Al-Khadraoui that command good price in the local market.
Jabal Magneit(Mount. magnet)
I was not believe it myself for the first time the guide told us that this hills is contain a huge gravitation, until I saw it myself the water that I dropped in downhill area, instead heading down it was heading up!..jeezz..

The Jabal is in the middle of the desert. It was so hot, maybe only scorpion and camel live there. I saw some oasis but contains very few of water.


Nabawi Mosque 
It's the 2nd blessing mosque on eart after Masjidil Haram.
The architecture is so beautiful, especially at night when all the lights on. But during daytime, in several dome will slide open and you will see the sky from inside the mosque. Masya ALLAH

It's the home of Rasulullah - Prophet of Muhammad SAW. It's where His tomb is and it is one of the places when you pray inside the Raudhah (nearby His tomb), Allah will listen and make your pray come true, Insya ALLAH.

Hadits mentions; if you pray/ sholah in Raudhah, it's almost the same like you are praying in heaven.

But if you're a woman, in order to get inside praying in Raudhah, one needs extra energy and have to face hundred screaming women, pushing and unconcious- look like they were possesed or something, because Raudhah is open for only certain time for women. It's between 6 AM - 11 AM, 2PM- 3PM and 9 PM- 1 AM.

I went there twice and almost fainted for dehydration and lack of Oxygen.

Btw if you're bringing your sandals, make sure you bring the bag to put it save near you, do not leave it in storage area, it will dissapear!.
And for ladies, dont' bother to bring camera or cell-phone, the women-guard will search your body.

Packing list...
Luggage and bags: Keep packing to a minimum so that theres space to bring back lots of gifts and souveniers, or take an extra bag with.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Good to take paracetamol, anti-diarrheals, etc as the names of the medicines you might need will be in arabic.

Miscellaneous: a shoe-bag.

And that's all from me and take care, see you later all ... 
 
 And here is a pitcure ...
