Medinah or Madinah is the second holiest city in the Islamic history, it is situated in the north of Mecca at a distance of 450km approximately from Mecca to it. It is where the last prophet and messenger of Allah migrated to as he left mecca on the command of his Lord the Almighty Allah.
It is rich with Islamic historical sites primarily centered around the prophet's mosque and significant mosques like Quba and Al- qiblatain. These sites include battle-fields like Uhud, cemeteries like Jannatul Baqie and locations related to key events in early Islamic history.
Why was it named so? It was because when the Almighty Allah ordered His Prophet Muhammad to pray facing Jerusalem where Masjid Aqswa is located, the Prophet continued to pray to Allah to change for him the qibla which Allah did during the prayer in that mosque.
Masjid qiblatain means a mosque of the two qiblas. It was named so because its where the direction of prayer (qibla) for Muslims was changed from Jerusalem to Mecca during a prayer service. Initially, muslims prayed facing Jerusalem but a revelation during prayer at this mosque instructed them to turn towards the Kaaba in Mecca.
The Masjid Qiblatain is located on the western side of Medina 4km from Masjid Al Nabawi. That same mosque was at first called Masjid Banu Salamah until when the prophet was ordered to change the qibla and face where the Kaaba is located.
Uhudi Mountain; it was the site of the second battle between the Islamic prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him (P.B.U.H) and the polytheists of his tribe the Quraysh. The battle of Uhudi was fought in Shawwal 19th and it took the lives of about 70 Muslims and they were all buried in that region.

313 Muslims defeated 1300 pagans in this battle. This small number of Muslims was not well-trained for war, and no one had the equipment. At that time, Prophet's army has only two horses and 70 camels. This historic place is located 334km from Makkah. This first war is also mentioned in Quran, so no one will want to miss this historic place to visit during his journey of Makkah.
Mina is a valley that is located at a 3km distance from Makkah. This valley is a very important part of Hajj. During the Hajj, pilgrims pass their 1st, 3rd, and 4rth days in this valley.

Cave Hira is the second important cave after Cave Thawr. Cave Hira is the second important cave after Cave Thawr. But you can say it 1st than Thawr. Because that is the place where Allah revealed his first verses of the Quran upon Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) through Gabriel Angel.
Muhammad (PBUH) was spent more time in meditation and finding the grace of Allah in this cave. When Grace of Allah revealed that was a night of Ramadan. So, Quran and Hadiths are mentioned that night with the name of Laylatul Qadr. The location of this cave is at a height of 634 meters in the Al Nour Mountain. The distance of it from the Kabba is only four km.
This cave reminds us of a great event that took place during the migration of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his companions from Makkah to Madinah. This point is one of the Ziyarats where pilgrims go after performing Hajj and Umrah.
The main difference between Umrah and Hajj is that Hajj is an obligatory pilgrimage for Muslims that must be performed during a specific time in the Islamic lunar month of Dhu al-Hijjah, while Umrah is a voluntary pilgrimage that can be performed at any time of the year
