The trip was splendid and it covered the most important locations in Madina. The guide ’ Mohammad Abdujawad’ Was outstanding, a very knowledgeable person, nice and very patient. He explained every detail about every location that we visited. All in all, I really recommend this trip and if I come to Madina again I will without a doubt book it again and I will choose to have it with ‘ Mohammad Abdujawad’.
It was a beautiful trip from the short host and it was my first visit to the landmark city and one of the best visits to reclaim if I wish
