The place where Prophet Muhammad PBUH stay 3 days during migration from Makkah to Madina.
The museum provided an exceptional experience, highly deserving of recommendation.
Offering not only insights into Jeddah but also into the broader Saudi culture, it meticulously explores various aspects such as architecture, lifestyles, traditions, clothing heritage, and historical progress from antiquity to modernity. In the modernité, we can see themes about space, human body, etc.. and what was thought at school.
Additionally, the museum boasts a diverse array of artefacts from across the globe, including Europe and Asia.
My visit was profoundly enlightening, and I gained a wealth of knowledge from the experience. My tour guide Ahmed was truly amazing and I would recommend him !

Best f1 circuit in the world!
Great experience and organisation ! Really world class ! Being guest at the paddock helped enjoying the whole experience : very close to the F1 race , cars and teams and enjoying high end chefs preparing delicious foods and snacks ! Fantastic fireworks including planes and drones finishes off every evening !
Historical place converted to museum. Ticket is 50 Riyals and you can buy souvenirs here as nice artifacts are available here.
Incredible performance, amazing event 🤩
See you next year, 2025🏎️✨✨

Very nice weekend in the fabulous city of Jeddah. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Lots of entertainment in addition to the racing. Shows Saudi as a super location to visit which should place her as a top tourist location. 2nd time at F1 Jeddah and one of my favourite circuits.
I feel extraordinary peace 🕊️ relaxation and calmness. also a wonderful view of the holy city Makkah Al Mukarma. Masjid Al Haram, Mina Muzdalfa and Arafat all could be watchable from Ghar e Thowr.
I recommend everyone to go there, young people can go in 1 hour to 1 and half hours and old 2 hours to 3 hours after staying and taking breath for 5 minutes at every station. people also can buy water and some food all the way from the staying stations.

"Mecca Museum offers a captivating journey through the rich history and culture of Mecca. The exhibits are informative, well-curated, and provide a deeper understanding of the city's significance. A must-visit for anyone interested in Mecca's heritage. Highly recommended!"
Went at king Fahd park and enjoy biking with Najran bikers...
This place is mind-blowing, the rich heritage of Saudi Arabian woodworks and architecture is mesmerizing. It instantly takes you back to centuries ago giving a glimpse of life at that time.
A must visit place for Ziarat during Hajj-Umrah Pilgrimage. The Place where Hazat Muhammad PBUH took refuge while going to Madina (Yasrab) along with Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddiq when Kufaar of Meccah ( tauba Naozubillah ) tried to kill both of them.
This was my favorite stop during my trip to Al ballad this time. The work displayed was breathtaking and it shows great pride in the work of the students. The place is so beautiful on the inside, the architecture is beyond words to describe. I liked how they set up the display and the tour is pretty quick.
They were very welcoming and we were giving a very unusual coffee as a welcome drink. We visited several different rooms displaying how the locals used to live. I found it very interesting.
January 2024 1*
I am not rating low because anything is wrong. The place is beautiful and free for visitors (after 5 pm) but currently there is nothing to see.
All main floors are closed and there is small exhibition about wooden craft and colouring on ground floor. It may interest if you are craft lover. I wanted to read about the history of Jeddah.
The staff also did not tell you what to expect. So it may not be worth to visit it till they open all floors.

As a historian and museum worker, this is the best museum I have ever been to! The collection is exhaustive, rare, and quirky. The staff were extremely helpful throughout the experience and hospitable. The diwan (restaurant) is also fantastic and you’ll definitely need a coffee break between taking in the museums many exhibits!
Nassif House Museum is located in historic district of Al-Balad in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It's known for its traditional architecture, cultural heritage, and historic sites. Rest can be seen in the pictures attached.
Had an amazing refreshing walk in the balad.from old houses to old archetecture well preserved. We loved every bit if it. Day light made it more interesting to watch and what an amazing historic vibe while visiting shops and alleys.
Well maintained has an exibit for designs of historical Jeddah and it's renovation
Super interesting experience. Amazing architecture. Plenty to see. Basically two museums: one on Science and one on history /Islam. Sometimes it was missing explainations of what you are seeing. Please check the opening hours before you go. I had to go there twice, because google didnt have the correct information.
Museum art centre was opened for viewing in the evening and very interesting on stone, carvings and paintings of the old city buildings and architecture
Nice place, but the lighting here is still a bit lacking.
A wonderful place to spend time, with a beautiful landscape, a garden, and a view of Madina that can be seen from the top. It's neat and clean, fully maintained, and has amazing greenery.
So nice so good view..
اشكركم على التعاون معنا ♥️♥️
Needs renovation...can not be entitled as a land mark. Nothing special it can be described with
As a visitor on a non race day the experience was flat there is not much to do or see and access is limited so literally a waste of time going down for see the track.
I suppose it only comes alive during race days as its a street track.

One of the greatest street circuits of all time. Every race here so far has been a banger
A lot of activities to do... Free water, thanks NOVA. Value for money. My family loves it...
هذا المكان على طريق السدوس طلع حريملاء تجي على يمينك
Great experience cycling in the Jeddah F1 race track, beautiful track,
Hope that it will open more often for the public

Jabal uhud garden or uhud mountain park or uhud park.... Different names, same place.
Trip December 2022.
Went in at about sunset time.... Excellent view, rather a bird's eye veiw of Medina city from top. You can climb to certain height via stairs. In between areas to rest, garden and benches are ample. Open 24 hrs, free entry and in December it was more enjoyable with cool breeze.
Worth a visit in Medina.

It is a beautiful and calm viewpoint of Medinah. The dozens of cats here only make me love it more.
There is no seating here, so bring your own sheet for the ground, and it is also not very clean.

Perfect place for weekend . Fresh Air and overview of Madinah MaShAllah. I am a nature lover thats is why i really like this beautiful place. Jabal Ohud Garden is the best i like most.
Excellent
It's wonderful,Makkah museum it is located in Saudi Arabia in makkah city in it consists of all the old metarial of harm sharif (kaba sharif) in side and out side from the period of saltanet e Osmania , it's amazing experience to have a look at the moment in the museum inshaallah once in a lifetime iwill be there to perform Haj.
The restaurant is beautiful and the staff is nice to deal with. The restaurant’s fault is that the order was late in arriving and the dish was not hot enough. Thank you to everyone and I would recommend eating again in this restaurant
EDIT: The garden is now closed for renovation.
This is such a nice place to have a picnic and spend time with family. There are many places to sit whilst being surrounded by greenery. If you like animals, there are many cats and tons of birds chirping away in the trees. There are also stairs going up the mountain that allow you to get a good look of the blessed city. The iconic minaret lights of Masjid al Nabawi are visible from the mountain.

I’d recommend only if your kids love space… not much to do but watch a short 20-30 mins film and if you want to watch another you pay an extra ~18 riyals (there are 4 movies)
DONT buy the ticket for alshallal from here, get a separate ticket (from the main gate) after you finish from the planetarium (different door) or just calculate your plan ahead of time…
Alshallal tickets prices have increased so much cause some games aren’t included in your ticket and paid separately… the last time I was here was probably 10+ years but still you’d pay so much nowadays than I use to remember…

We were not able to experience because we were advised that the 20-minute show is only in Arabic. We are expatriates therefore, English would be much better option for us. It will be much appreciated if there would be shows that is dubbed in English language.
It is a picturesque garden with beautiful landscapes that dazzle the eye of the beholder
The park is located in the center of Medina directly near Mount Sun; it is located at the foot of the mountain and provides the park all the requirements and entertainment needs of the visitors of Saudi Arabia and its inhabitants.
And also all the inhabitants of Medina and is located precisely on the highest mountain sun and it is located next to the livestock market and the popular market so the residents go to always with their families and their children to spend exceptional times amid the natural beauty of the great.

A good place for kids interested to know about space and planets. Though it is not too big and doesn't have much to offer other than a few astronauts standing here and there but the movie show was captivating.
Wonderfull place to spend a time there , beautifull landscape , garden and Madina View can be seen from the top.
Its neat and clean ,fully maintain and amazing greenry are there.
Parking is available at site.

Very quite and healthy atmosphere...
A good experience with the family
Gorgeous, we need to add mangroves
Cool place. There are 2 shows. We saw the stars journey in English and it was very good. The other show is about a girl's visit but we didn't see it yet. Planning to see it the next time. Kids below 4 years are free
The NASA shows are good. They also keep changing the shows so content is updated.
Definitely worth it with family. If your kids are interested in Space or NASA then this is a good starting point for them.

Serene and picturesque surroundings make it one of the top places to visit. We stayed a whole month there, given it wasnt part of the plan and it was a result of our boat sinking that we ended up there, blah blah, but nevertheless, the month spent there was memorable. With no trees or shade, we were fortunate enough to stack up on Vitamin D, avoiding the most common defficiency on the planet at the moment. This island had everything to offer, from sand to salt water. Surely a place one would prefer to be laid to rest. One less star because of the crabs, too many of them, and most of them are quite creepy, and i mean "peeping through the window at 3am" kinda creepy.
Defiantly coming back again
OMG! The oasis in space is definitely worth the watch. The globular screen and 3D effect is to die for. Super educational and fascinating. Seriously worth money. I wish there were more funt things to do.
Love for the space. <3

I would always wake up and see flamingoes on that island and I am trying to gather people for an experiment to grow mangrove trees up there.
Too sandy .. Water too salty .. Lots of crabs .. No cafés .. But nice views .. (p.s. Don't bring your bicycle with you)
Its a beautiful place. Nice view!

Visiting such places boosts your Iman.
Very informative place. Very well managed and guided.
When we visited last time on 24 Dec 2018 it was "ladies only" day.
I think they have now separated days for men and women. Better to check before visiting.
First confirm the address of museum on google map because first it misguided us then we had to relocate but it was worth visiting although only my wife went in there with my son and his pram.
There are separate washrooms for men and women.
They even had zamzam to drink for free.
Parking space as well.
Safe and clean environment.
Female staff who guides female visitors in different languages.

It's a nice place to have fun with kids. A bit expensive to though. Staff is a bit rude at times.
Mecca Museum also known as Al-Haramin Museum is an important place to visiting during your visiting in Makkah. It is only 10-15 Minutes driving away from Haram Sherif.
It has got various collection of the Islamic cultural and historical dimensions of the two Holy Mosques.
The Museum has got 7 Halls. So many valuable information can be gathered. You may need more than to gather more information should you really interested to learn and find the facts.

A great place for learning about the ancient history of Makkah and its adjoining areas. The museum contains archaeological artifacts from prehistoric times including rock inscriptions, ancient stone tools and cultural items. The museum also showcases picturea of historical importance via various banners describing important historical events.
This museum, however, focusses mainly on the exhibition of historical items in general not about Kaaba etc specifically.
Takes about an hour and half to see.

Really enjoyed looking at old artifacts and historical pieces from both the Kaabah in Makkah and Masjid Nabavi in Medinah. Only downside was no prayer area so we prayed Asr out side in the gardens. The
