Video Description
We traveled to Medina (Madinah), Saudi Arabia, the second holiest city in all of Islam. We are non-Muslims, but, we've been in Saudi Arabia long enough to know the people here will welcome us with arms wide open. We were very excited to see this city, which has just opened up to non-Muslims recently. We started off taking a 300km/h train from Jeddah. The ride was smooth, and comfortable, although the cafeteria car didn't offer full meals like we were looking for. No sweat, still worth the 20 USD per person! After checking in and grabbing some lunch, we hit the streets in search of 2 incredibly improtant mosques. The first: Masjib Quba-- the birthplace of Islam. This was the first mosque ever built, with the first stone being laid by Prophet Muhammad himself. You could feel the gravity of the place, although people were just starting to come out, as the weather was still pretty warm. From there, we took an electric golf-cart-limosine to Masjid al-Nabawi-- the prophet's mosque. This mosque contains the grave of Prophet Muhammad himself. By now, people were everywhere. The courtyard around the Mosque is massive, and full of people praying. Everyone was dressed very respectfully. You could feel the pull of each person coming to this place for one reason. It was like everyone was in a massive rowboat, pulling in the same direction, at the same time. The force was palpable. It was something we won't forget. (and, our daughter got pooped on by a bird, we take this as a sign of good luck :D) From there, we toured around the massive crowds, and tried some dates, that are evidently the best in the world. Next, we were headed toward dinner, when we noticed a big sign that said, 'Jesus, peace be upon him.' It was a reminder that Islam and Christianity are both Abrahamic religious. They have a lot in common. To that point-- everyone we've met here in Saudi Arabia has been incredibly warm and hospitable to us. We are all one people. From there, we headed off to dinner. Delicious food to end another great day in Saudi Arabia.
