Saudi Arabia's holy city of Medina

There are only a few months in a year that are suitable for visiting Saudi Arabia. The holy city of Medina is open to non-Muslims for visits. To show respect, I still covered my head, but in reality, everyone is very devout and focused on worship, so no one paid any attention to me. If you don't drive yourself, you can take the high-speed train, which takes about three and a half hours. It's necessary to book round-trip tickets in advance, as many people go for worship. After getting off at the high-speed train station, you can take an Uber to the mosque. From the drop-off point to the mosque entrance, there are restaurants and cafes along the way. Non-Muslims can only view the mosque from the outside and are not allowed to enter. The exterior of the mosque is also divided into male and female areas. The umbrellas in my photos automatically open when the sun comes out and close at sunset.
