Masjid Al-Ghamama

#medinatrips Masjid Al-Ghamama is one of Medina’s most historic and spiritually significant mosques. Located near Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, this mosque is believed to be the place where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) performed the Eid prayer and prayed for rain (Salat Al-Istisqa), after which the sky was covered with clouds—hence the name Al-Ghamama (meaning "cloud"). The mosque’s architecture is stunning, with a classic Ottoman-style design, elegant domes, and a peaceful atmosphere. Though no longer used for daily prayers, visitors can still enter and appreciate its historical value. Being so close to the Prophet’s Mosque, this is a must-visit spot for those on Hajj or Umrah, as it offers a deep connection to the Prophet’s life and prayers. Highly recommended for history lovers and spiritual seekers!
