Madinah Heritage & Date Farms Tour
Date palm orchards and cultural heritage
A private chauffeured tour through the Quba outskirts, historic date palm orchards and cultural heritage exhibits, at your own pace.
- 01
Quba outskirts
The green belt south of the city where Madinah's oldest orchards lie, a few minutes from Masjid Quba.
- 02
Historic date palm orchards
Family farms growing Ajwa, Anbara and Safawi dates. You walk among the palms, see how the fruit is harvested and can buy dates directly from the growers.
- 03
Cultural heritage exhibits
Small heritage displays on farming life in early Madinah, with traditional tools, irrigation and the story of the city's dates.
The car is yours for the full 3 hours. Your driver waits at each stop while you visit and pray.
Your driver works for a Saudi transport company licensed by the Transport General Authority (TGA). They collect you from the lobby, take you to each stop and wait while you visit. They are not a licensed tour guide, and we do not sell them as one: the notes on this page tell you what each stop is and what people do there. A guide who speaks your language can be added to any journey as a paid add-on. Ask for one in the special requests box when you book, or write to support@seemadinah.com.
Madinah sits in a basin between old lava fields. The volcanic soil and underground water are why palms thrive here in the desert.
Rawasheen, the carved wooden screens of old Hijazi houses, let the breeze in while those inside could see out without being seen.
The first mosque built in Islam, founded by the Prophet (peace be upon him) as he arrived from Makkah, even before al-Masjid an-Nabawi.
