I'm a Jew & I Went to Medina (2nd Holiest Islamic City)

Before my trip to Saudi Arabia, I had no idea that I was allowed to visit Medina. It’s the 2nd holiest city in Islam and I always assumed that it was off-limits to non-Muslims (similar to Mecca) — but I was wrong! Anybody is allowed to visit Medina (even Jews!), they just can’t venture inside the gates of the Prophet’s Mosque. I went to Medina with my local friend, Abdullah, the same guy who took me on a virtual tour of Mecca. And I really enjoyed my time in the city. There is this overwhelming spirit in the air, something similar to Jerusalem or Varanasi, and it’s something I will never forget! Have you ever been to Medina? Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Also if you’re planning to visit Saudi, check out Abdullah’s company, @88destinstions - they can help plan your trip!
