Medina Holidays

Celebrating 25 Years of tour excellence
Also spelt Madinah, the ‘enlightened city’, Medina is one of the most sacred cities in Islam and is considered the ‘cradle of Islamic culture and civilisation.’

Founded in the 9th century BCE Medina was long a successful settlement before Islam arrived, located on a number of trade routes among mountains, plains and oases. It was in the year 622 that that the Prophet, the last prophet according to the Islamic faith, fled Mecca to escape prosecution and found refuge in Medina and began to establish a Muslim community around himself.

It was at this time to Quba Mosque was built, considered the world’s oldest mosque, while at the city’s heart is the huge Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (The Prophet’s Mosque) is the burial place of the Prophet Mohammad and one of Islam’s holiest places. While non-Muslims cannot go into the city’s mosques, a recent relaxation of rules has meant visitors can now enter the city centre to better view Medina’s many religious and historical attractions.

Medina Tour Reviews

Review for Wonders of China
I don't leave reviews as a matter of course, but i will say everything was excellent. The party i travelled with were quite diverse in character, ranging from, i have been everywhere people and know it all, to the most down to earth people i have ever the meet, from the North East, South West, and Scotland. The antipodean members seem to have been everywhere and had great pleasure of informing us. The following i would like to mention. Jean + Paul, Elizabeth(Libby), Sue, Vicky, Ron, Claudia + Sandra(sorry for pulling your leg all the time), and Ian(i have told them not to build the wall any higher) ha-ha. i hope Medina is on the road to recovery. The tour rep Louis was excellent and the first local rep Lindsey was joy to behold, both did outstanding jobs and are a credit to your company. The tour was full on, but this is what we signed up for, a positive response which would indicate that a good time was had by all, Well Wendy Wu, in the words of the Bard, I think you nailed it. I don't have anything planned as of yet as my business now needs my full attention. Now to blow my own trumpet, Ron asked me what my hobbies were, i said philately(stamp collecting) which is true, but my real pleasure is restoring Grade 11 listed buildings. I think that is all.
All my love to everyone,
May your life have more up's than down's
May your God go with you,
Love
