HIM2  > Travel > Madinah
Al Madinah Al Munawwara ...the Lighted City ... burial place of the Prophet Mohammad and location of Islam's 2nd holiest shrine "The Prophet's Mosque".

Even for hardened skeptics, there is no denying that from the moment you step out of the plane at Madinah airport, there comes over one a sense of peace and serenity that is both palpable and inexplicable.

HIM2 > One of several intricately decorated main entrances into the Prophet's Mosque, Madinah. As I was about to take this photo this woman came up and stood by the door .. I waited for her to finish but she took a long time standing there... I approached her to see what she was doing and saw she was kissing the door repeatedly. I decided to take the shot with her in it.

HIM2 > The green dome is part of the original Prophet's Mosque built by the Ottomans. The umbrella structures and arcades in the foreground are part of a large extension completed in the 90s. The umbrella structure is unique; opening at a press of a button to provide much needed shade from the Saudi heat for worshippers within the Mosque's main courtyards.
