Medina holds great importance in Islam. Known as the city of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), it is the city where he (PBUH) settled down after migration to Madinah in 622 AD and stayed there until his last breath.

Commonly referred to as the "cradle of Islamic culture and civilisation", it is Islam's second holiest city. Although a visit to Medina is optional (though highly encouraged) and not part of the Hajj, most pilgrims visit Medina after completing the Hajj before they head home.
