November to March is the best time to visit Al Madinah. The weather is ideal during these winter months that offer a respite from the hot, summer days. Add to that, you will experience fewer crowds during these months. If you are visiting for a religious purpose, then it is best to book your Medina tours during the holy month of Ramadan. During this time, the city transforms with lively decorations and festivities, providing you with numerous opportunities to experience the local customs and traditions.
It's important to note that Al Madinah experiences scorching heat and humidity during the summer months from June to September, with an average temperature of around 40°C (104°F). Thus, it's advisable to avoid visiting during this period, particularly if you're not accustomed to hot weather.
That depends on your travel style and personal preferences. However, we recommend spending at least 2 to 4 days in Medina to explore the city’s top attractions and religious heritage. For those on a tight schedule, you can cover most of the key landmarks with Al Madinah sightseeing bus tours within 1 to 2 days. For more relaxed sightseeing at a comfortable pace, you can spare 4 to 5 days.
Al Madinah or Medina bus tour offers you the convenience and flexibility to get off at the nearest designated stop. No tour guide, you set your own itinerary. You’ll find all the stops are located strategically at all the major attractions, making your touring as hassle-free as possible. And then, when you’re ready to continue, return to a designated bus stop, show your pass, and hop back on the bus and onwards towards your next attraction. So, go ahead and make a whole loop of the route once you have your tour ticket, get familiar with the city and pick out your favorite places to visit and then return to them during your stay.
