Overview
The Quba Walking Trail is a pedestrian avenue of about 3 km connecting the Prophet’s Mosque with Masjid Quba in the south of Madinah, according to the Madinah visitor authority.
Historical connection
Sahih al-Bukhari records that the Prophet ﷺ used to go to Quba every Saturday, walking or riding (Sahih al-Bukhari 1193). The walkway allows visitors to make this journey on foot today.
Today
The trail has been developed with shaded walkways, landscaping, shops and cafés, and hosts seasonal activities.
