| | Rising Star :: Madinah, Revered City of Blessings |
 | | Residents of Madinah enjoy moderate summer and winter temperatures when compared to those of Riyadh or Jeddah, with differences of up to 60°F. The daylight hours are marked by predominantly dry, southwesterly winds, while rain mostly falls during November, January, March and April, when the typically low humidity turns significantly higher. |
 | | Madinah is surrounded by several mountains: Mount Aynain, Mount Dthabbaab, Mount Sila'a, Mount Thawr, Mount Ayr, Mount Silee'a, Mount Uhud and Jumaawaat. |
 | | Many hope that Prince Abdul Aziz ibn Majed will continue developmental projects, such as establishing an e-government and working to better accommodate the annual influx of visitors at Hajj (pilgrimage) time, when Muslims by the hundreds of thousands converge upon Madinah. |
