City Guide
Ten plans by people who know the city — a first day, a weekend, with children, for coffee lovers, after work. Open one and make it yours.

The essentials of a first visit, paced around prayer times.

Friday in the centre and Quba, Saturday at Uhud — with an event each evening.

Short stops, shade at midday and something for children in every part of the day.

Calligraphy, galleries, an exhibition and an evening of talks.

Saudi coffee by the Haram, pour-overs in the west and a roastery to finish.

Quba, Al-Qiblatayn, Urwa’s palace and the railway station.

Breakfast, the dates market, a farm lunch and an evening on the walkway — the city residents know.

Sunset at Uhud, dinner, the valley walkway and a late coffee.

One museum, a coffee meeting, a historic mosque and dinner — back at the hotel by ten.

The centre, the south and the north-west — one part of the city each day.
