There’s a special kind of tranquillity in Madinah when you move through its landmarks on foot. In this guided-style visit from أسامة عبدالله - Osamah Abdullah, the focus is a deeply meaningful journey: the walking path between the Prophet’s Mosque (Masjid an-Nabawi) and Masjid Quba. It’s a route made for steady steps, soft air, and a chance to take in the atmosphere—while still offering practical options if you prefer not to walk the full distance.
Starting in Masjid an-Nabawi
The experience begins at Masjid an-Nabawi. The video opens with a warm greeting and immediately places you at the centre of the city’s spiritual energy—then points you towards the next destination: Masjid Quba, mentioned in the Holy Quran.
A beautiful, fully paved path—made for ease
Between Masjid an-Nabawi and Masjid Quba lies a route described as fully paved, with the key detail that there are no cars you need to worry about on the path. That means you can enjoy the walk without the usual traffic tension, whether you choose to travel on foot or use a mobility option.
How to travel the route
- Walking: The video encourages visitors to go on foot—an experience that feels simple and direct.
- By bicycle: If you have one with you, cycling is mentioned as an option for getting there comfortably.
- Electric scooter: The route can also be covered using an electric scooter.
- Golf carts: For those who prefer an even easier ride, golf-cart cars are available at the location.
One of the most useful practical details shared is the approximate cost of golf-cart riding: 10 riyals per person. This helps you plan your visit without uncertainty.
What the journey feels like
The walking route isn’t just about reaching a destination—it’s about enjoying the in-between. The video describes the path as very beautiful, with shaded areas and refreshing air. There’s also mention of trees and lights along the way, creating a pleasant atmosphere where sunlight filters through in a calming way.
Shops and local stores along the way
As you travel, you’ll pass through an area with many shops positioned on both sides of the path. The video also notes that there are stores run by people from Madinah, meaning the journey includes moments to browse while you continue towards Masjid Quba.
Arriving at Masjid Quba
After following the route, the video reaches its spiritual highlight: Masjid Quba. The narration connects the visit to what is referenced in Islamic texts—its significance in the Quran and the idea that it was founded on piety from the first day. The video also mentions a hadith connected with the blessings of arriving, praying, and drinking zamzam water.
A short, reflective visit
Inside Masjid Quba, the visitor describes entering to pray and then drinking zamzam water. After that, they head back out as the crowd moves—leading into the return journey.
Returning to Masjid an-Nabawi
As the video notes, there is crowd activity at the time of departure. To make the return comfortable, the visitor re-boards a golf cart and heads back to Masjid an-Nabawi, describing the overall trip as easy and comfortable.
