The heart of the city
Al-Masjid an-Nabawi
The city’s first landmark, and the axis of its movement at every hour.
People turn toward it at every hour, and its courtyards change with the day: quiet after dawn, wide shade at noon, warm light before sunset.
From Naqsh it is a drive along Prince Muqrin Road. Choose the calmer hours, then walk the surrounding lanes.
A place is not visited once; it is visited differently at every hour.
