Very well recommended museum on the history of Medina, with competent English speaking guide available that takes small groups around and explains. Dates and coffee offered. I learned a lot. Thank you!

A very informative and exceptional experience at this museum. It is a must see if you visit Medina! The English speaking guide did an incredible job simplifying the story of the prophet PBH as well as explaining the details of the exhibits. The exhibits themselves are built to a high level of detail and quality, and showcase the level of dedication and effort out toward this museum. I especially enjoyed seeing the large model of medina which took over 10 years to build. The craftsmanship that goes into projects like this are unreal. I do look forward to a future visit here!

The first and biggest museum that specialized in the history of Almadinah and its deep heritage. The museum highlights the history of the city of our beloved prophet, peace be upon him, as well as its valuable heritage and great ancient civilization. The museum displays big collection of hand built models that shows you simulation of the actual old landmarks of the city as well as a big collection of rear pieces and rear shoots of the city and its history.

Very nice experience. A detailed history of both Makkah & Madina, the two holy cities. The displays are very well put together. Tours are available in various languages. The staff are welcoming and helpful. Tickets are affordable at 25 riyals for adults and 15 riyals for children. I'd recommend visiting.

This is a really must visit place when in Medina. Our tour guide gave us so many insights and history about the prophet saw and his life and the history of Medina. I’ve learned a lot, and questions were welcomed and replied upon with much patience.

Our guide’s English was excellent as well as his knowledge on the matter MashaAllah.

We had a warm welcome with dates, Arabic coffee and were offered water as well.

The museum helps you imagine how Medina evolved and how the prophet saw has lived.

Must visit place. If you want to know the history about the Makkah and Madinah and also how the cities changed with time must visit this museum. All the history is preserved and you can also see the summits of both the cities. Translators are available in Arabic English and Urdu languages

Masha Allah very nice museum, they have made models of the historical events during the time Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Also there are guides who explains the events in different languages viz., Arabic, English, Urdu.
Jazakallah khairan to our guide Mr Mohammad Madani.
The models of evolution of Kaaba during different eras and Masjid e Nabawi in different eras is done aesthetically. A very nice place to visit to know the history of Madinah Munawwara and important events of Prophet’s life.
Note: They clearly admit that they don’t have any original exhibit of the time of Prophet, they have either models or some cultural artifacts.
Entry fee SR 25 for adults and SR 15 for kids.
