Visiting Madina is a deeply moving experience, and one stop you should plan early is Masjid Quba. As the video explains, the prayer in Masjid Quba is so special that many visitors consider it a must—ideal for anyone hoping to make the most of their time in the city.
Even if you’re staying near the centre, the question is always the same: how do you get from Masjid an-Nabawi to Masjid Quba easily? In this guide, inspired by the video’s route, you’ll find clear, step-by-step directions covering the quickest option and the walking route—so you can choose what suits your pace.
Why Masjid Quba is worth visiting
The video highlights Masjid Quba as a place you should visit when you come to Madina. It’s presented as a meaningful destination for prayer and reflection, and the speaker recommends saving the route details because they found it helpful for getting there smoothly.
Option 1: The simplest way (quick car ride)
If you’d prefer to reduce walking time, the video offers a straightforward car option:
- Follow the direction to the area described as the “jowlah” (the video mentions cars/vehicles there).
- You’ll reach Masjid Quba for around 10 Saudi Riyals.
- The journey is described as taking about ten minutes.
The video also notes that the trip passes through a mix of shops, restaurants, and cafés, making the journey feel more like a small sightseeing stop than just a transfer.
Option 2: Walk there easily (recommended for travellers who want the experience)
If you enjoy walking, the video explains a guided approach that helps you stay oriented and avoid getting lost. The recommended walk begins from Masjid an-Nabawi using a specific exit point.
Step-by-step walking route
- Leave Masjid an-Nabawi via gate number 310. The video clearly states this as the starting point for an easy route.
- Look for Masjid Al-Ghamamah. The video advises keeping Masjid Al-Ghamamah on your right as you walk.
- Use the walkway / path (the “Mimsha”). The speaker refers to it as the walking path they used to get there.
- Follow the route until you arrive at Masjid Quba. The video emphasises that this is the same area they used during their visit.
How long does the walk take?
The video shares two time estimates, depending on how you move:
- If you’re travelling by car, it can be about 10 minutes.
- If you walk, it can take around 35 to 40 minutes (the video notes the walk takes longer if you walk on foot).
Tips to make your visit smoother
- Save the route details. The speaker encourages viewers to keep the information for when they visit Madina.
- Choose your pace. If you’re short on time or travelling with family, the car option may suit you. For a more immersive experience, the walking path is a great choice.
