Masjid Quba

The Masjid Quba is one of the oldest mosques in the world, and it is situated in Medina's surrounding area. It is one of the most impressive tourist destinations in Medina, and the Prophet himself laid the first stones there after leaving Mecca. It is thought to be the world's first mosque and dates back to the time of the Holy Prophet in the seventh century CE.
The Prophet is said to have prayed qasr (a little prayer) here for 14 days while he waited for his son-in-law Ali to arrive in Medina. Large crowds frequently gather at this mosque throughout the year, thus worshippers and guests frequently come here to say their morning prayers.

In the summer, Medina faces sweltering desert heat with incredibly high temperatures. Masjid Quba and other Medina landmarks are best visited from November to March, when the weather is cooler. The weather is more agreeable and comfortable for exploring the city during this time. It's also a good idea to look up important Islamic holidays and events because they can draw larger crowds to mosques and other sacred locations.
