The second holiest city in Islam, Madinah is the burial place of the Prophet Muhammad and a key point on the Hajj pilgrimage.
Entry to the city centre – where the majority of the holy sites are located – is restricted to Muslims, though non-Muslims are welcome in other areas of the city.
30km north of Madinah you’ll find Jabel Magnet – a mountain where people say gravity is reversed. It’s a trick of the mind, but find the right spot and you’ll feel like gravity is pulling you up the slope – some travellers have even reported seeing water flow uphill here.
