Nice place to explore, opposite to Masjid e shuhada.
Need good car (not necessary 4*4), unless you want to go on top of mountain. Also note that, I am not sure whether its legal to travel on top, also its not safe.
But you can go near mountain, view the old verses written by people of that time on mountains.
This is The place which witnessed history during the 2nd Battle of Islam . A place of Islamic history.
The cave has been blocked by the Authority to avoid any mishaps as it is on steep inclined surface.
A bit difficult to locate, no easy access .
Mount Uhud where one of the famous battles took place between Mushriqan-e-Makkah and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions. One the brave leaders and Uncle of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Hazrat Hamza (RA) attained his martyrdom here. He is buried in here and there stands now a beautiful Masjid!!! It is a few miles from Haram shareef.
Historically excellent place…
A place where initial ceremony of selection of the first Caliph of Islam was held.

This cave represents a symbol of the suffering of the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, to deliver his message to the world and the spread we see today.
As the day of Uhud marked the transition and elimination of the ranks of Muslims from the hypocrites
May you reward us well, my lord, O Messenger of God

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) cast a glance at Uhud and said: Uhud is a mountain which loves us and we love it."
The Castle of Sa’id ibn al-‘As was constructed by Sa’id ibn al-‘As, may Allah be pleased with him, during his governorship of Madinah from 669 to 674 (49-54 AH). Currently, it is located within a government official compound where access is strictly restricted. It is not advisable to attempt entry, as it is deemed unworthy.

Muadh bin Jabal (رضي الله عنه) was once in search of Prophet Mohammad (ﷺ), persistently inquiring about his whereabouts until he ultimately discovered him in prostration within this cave. The Prophet Mohammad (ﷺ) remained in prostration for an extended period, then conveyed, “Jibraeel came to me and conveyed Allah's salam, asking, 'How would you like me to deal with your community?' I replied, 'Allah knows best!' Jibraeel departed and later returned, relaying, 'He assures you that He will not cause you distress due to your community.' Upon hearing this, I prostrated, as the ultimate act a servant can perform to draw closer to God is prostration."

Very calm place. There is also a Date shop inside.
Due to its importance since the beginning of Islamic history, Mount Uhud is considered one of Madinah's most important sites. The famous Battle of Uhud was held on its foothill, and many of the Prophet's (PBUH) companions are buried in its soil.
This historical place inspires us that set up a leader in Islam is the first priority to manage ummah.

It is just walking distance from Ghazwa e khandaq place (Battle of trench). It is less known Islamic visiting place (Ziyarah) than many others.

It is also known as the Cave of Prostration. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was known to have prostrated here in the cave upon receiving a message from Allah through the Angel Jibraeel. He was also reported to have spent some nights in this cave during the Battle of Khandaq(Trench).

Climbing is forbidden by Govt authorities and surrounding area covered by metal mash from all sides. Local person confirmed that sometimes militants also come here.
There is also a warning board placed, written in English, Arabic and Urdu : "No military zone" (Entrance to militant area not allowed).

Cave is not far away from the ground, just 5 minutes easy climbing up distance as told one of my friends. It is not an ordinary cave but space under a big stone on the mountain which can be see from the ground.

Anyways it was good experience to visit this Holy place. Recommended👍👍

In sirah Rasulullah SAW, this is location or place where the specific meeting immediately after our Prophet Muhammad SAW death in which his succession was debated.
It's a fantastic islamic historical place
Wrong location - no roads
It is inside govt official compound. Entry is strictly restricted. Not even worthy for a try

Banu Anif Masjid, also known as Musbeh Mosque, is one such place of worship in the holy city where the prophet PBUH prayed when he was visiting the companion Talha bin Al Bara. The mosque belongs to Banu Unaif people, who have alliances with Banu Ame bin Auf from the Aws, the people of Quba, adding that it is told that Prophet Muhammad PBUH used to visit the great companion Talha Al-Bara there.
The mosque is situated in Banu Unaif village’s historical area of Osbah, where several people who had embraced Islam had gathered before the Prophet PBUH when he migrated from Makkah to Madinah. According to historians, Musbah mosque was named as such because Muhammad PBUH prayed in it the morning of the day of Hijrah. The unroofed stone mosque has been renovated recently.

Saudi Arabia is finally waking up to the need for opening its historical assets to tourism; for decades it had closed off these heritage sites on account of a policy to ward off "unwanted" religious activities (which means "innovative" practices frowned upon by classical literalism that the Saudi establishment espouses).

The city was known by having a number of sheds, including Saqifat Bni Saedah because of the great historic event which has been signed to swear allegiance to Abu Bakr Alsiddiq after the death of the Prophet peace be upon him. The shed is located on the northwestern side of the holy mosque, and was among the houses the tribe of Bani Saedah Alkhozrgiah and which the Sahaabi Saad bin Maaz is from. It was close to Bida'ah well and then this shed was transformed later on to a building, its form changed through the ages, and was recently transferred to a park overlooking directly on the western wall of the mosque of Prophet Mohammad in the recent enlargement.

Place is locked because the story behind it is not true!

Please take the stories from a trusted sources.
This place referrers to the location of an event in early Islam where some of the companions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad gathered and pledged their allegiance to Abu Bakr, as the successor of Muhammad and the first caliph. The event at Saqifah,
took place shortly after Muhammad's death in 11 AH (632 CE),

In My mind feeded that place ( 3 year's )

Since people are there in Makka so in addition to Umrah they believe visiting other holy places is important. Although visiting these places is not part of Umrah but recommended to visit. Here are places in Makka to visit and if you will hire a taxi they will show you all of these. You can take your own taxi or you can use shared conveyance both options are there. Keep in mind if you want to climb on top of Ghar e Sore then you need one sided conveyance as no taxi will stop there and also you have to consider time factor in order to return and pray in Haram. Take water and some biscuits with you and your shoes should not be slippery as mountains there are very solid and slippery. In Arabic Jabal means mountain.

To keep naming convention I have not used word Cave so for information Ghar is called Cave.
In this Ghar Muhammad (PBUH) and Abu Baker Sidique hided them self while migrating to Madina for 3 days  from Quraish. Wehn Quraish reached to this Ghar they noticed spider web and birds nests there so they returned back. Very few people visit this Ghar due to its height and time factor.
great place to visit
It was beautiful and mesmerizing!
It gave us the old image of how prophet prayed there and drank from the well.
Plus, we got ajwa dates which was grown in there and was fresh.
Unforgettable and lovely at the same time.❤
This Masjid is located near Masjid quba Madina. This Masjid is not constructed property at this time. The history told us that Hazrat Muhammad peace be upon once stay here and perform fajir salat. So in this connection Ty his Masjid have only sign but some boundary wall about one to two feet is constructed. Also there is date garden near this place.
It is just walking distance from Ghazwa e khandaq place (Battle of trench). It is less known Islamic visiting place (Ziyarah) than many others.

This is the cave where Prophet Muhammad PBUH was brought at time of Uhud ghazwa for first aid when he was injured during war. The cave is now closed and can not be accessed. You can only view from far down.

A gem in Medina.
There’s a well that is 1400 years old that Prophet Muhammad drank from.
You can still pull water and it is clear clean, drinkable.
Next to it is a simple masjid (mosque), with just 4 walls and surrounded with palm trees.
Feels as if like the times of Prophet Muhammad.
Well guarded place and I think not everyone is welcome here.
Our Prophet has been praying here and drinking water from the well.
