I always heard from people, that you’ll fall in love it’s full of peace, until I experienced it, I was literally going again and again on my last day just to see it for last time, I fell in love with the peace I got there, leaving that place was like leaving your loved one. I cried like a child,
Some tips for ladies and gents
For ladies the entrance inside is gate 25, 29 and 13. If you would like to see Roza Rasool (PBUH) take 25th or 29th gate, if you would like to offer Nawafil in Riaz Al Jannah, the best time is in the morning as isha time is pretty busy I would recommend go at 07:00 go further until the end and then wait for your turn,
What you can also do to buy dates or sweets, once you enter the Mosque give it to people they will happily accept it from you, it’s great feeling to see people how they accept your gifts
Please remember in your prayers and say my Salam to my beloved Mohammed (PBUH)

This is a huge mosque and yet still not big enough to accommodate all worshipers. Amazing site and beautifully build by Saudi rulers. They take care of all worshiper who goes there and there are no discrimination based on color, country, or how wealthy you are. They treat everyone with respect and honor.

Reminiscent of the Arabian nights fairytales, this vibrant marketplace with multi-storied mud brick and stone buildings sells everything from textiles and sparkling silver and gold ornaments to spices and honey.
Reviewed By Francis S - London, United Kingdom
Al Balad is beautiful. I’ve been visiting for a few years and it has changed beyond recognition since Unesco status. It is a unique place of wonky houses, coral bricks and real life going on in it’s streets. Visit early morning to see one side of life and in the evening to see another. In Ramadan it is a joyful place of lights and food stalls and Jeddawis on the streets. Highly recommended

The evidence for visiting the Mosque of Quba’ is the hadeeth narrated in al-Saheehayn from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to come to Quba’ riding and walking.” According to another report: “and he would pray two rak’ahs there.” (narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also said, “Whoever purifies himself in his house then comes to the mosque of Quba’ and prays there, he will have a reward like that for ‘Umrah.” (Narrated by Ahmad, al-Nasaa’i, Ibn Maajah and al-Haakim. Al-Haakim classed it as saheeh and al-Dhahabi agreed with him. Also classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 6154)

This is really good place to hangout in Riyadh. Specially when Riyadh doesn’t have a lot of places. Its gives you and idea about old civilization if najd area and offers a lot eateries.
Only problem is parking on weekend, so it will be better u reach there 2-3 hrs before sunset
