The area surrounding the Prophet’s Mosque features diverse cultural and educational destinations that enrich the experience of pilgrims and visitors.
Key among these is the Prophet’s Mosque Expansion Exhibition, which showcases 1,400 years of construction history. Through interactive displays, rare artifacts, and architectural models, visitors can explore the evolution of the mosque from the Prophetic era to the present Saudi era.
Nearby, the International Fair and Museum of the Prophet’s Biography and Islamic Civilization, operated by the Muslim World League, uses advanced technologies such as virtual reality and holograms. It features immersive sections such as the Prophet’s Chamber, providing an engaging look at Islamic civilization and the Prophet’s life in multiple languages.
Another prominent site is the As Safiyyah Museum and Park, a modern digital destination located on the southern side of the mosque. It utilizes multimedia to tell the story of creation and the lives of the prophets, from Adam to Muhammad (peace be upon them).
These destinations bridge worship with historical knowledge, allowing visitors to deeply connect with Islamic heritage during their Hajj journey.
