Medina Travel Guide

Saudi Arabia

Medina is a Saudi Arabian city of 1,572,571 people and one of Islam’s most important religious centres. It lies inland in the Hejaz region, rather than on the coast, and is a major destination for religious travel.

Most visitors arrive by air at Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz International Airport (MED), the airport serving the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Medina, so beach trips are not part of a typical visit.
