SAUDI ARABIA Solo Travel | Caught in Medina as Non Muslim المدينة المنورة🇸🇦

#saudiarabia #medina #solotravel
This is my experience travelling solo in Medina (Saudi Arabia), the second holiest city of Islam, in November 2022. I was caught by the religious police while walking in front of the Prophet Mosque as not Muslim.

Medina is generally considered to be the "cradle of Islamic culture and civilization". The city is considered to be the second-holiest of three key cities in Islamic tradition, with Mecca and Jerusalem serving as the holiest and third-holiest cities respectively. Al-Masjid al-Nabawi ( 'The Prophet's Mosque') is of exceptional importance in Islam and serves as burial site of the last Islamic prophet, Muhammad, by whom the mosque was built in 622 CE. Observant Muslims usually visit his tomb, or rawdhah, at least once in their lifetime during a pilgrimage known as Ziyarat, although this is not obligatory.

Medina is my second stop within my 10 days solo travel experience in Saudi Arabia, a country which opened to international tourism in 2019 only and it is is still partly misunderstood.
