Watch the live webcam from Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (Prophet’s Mosque), the largest mosque in Saudi Arabia, located in the city of Medina.
It is the second holiest site in the Muslim world after the Al-Haram Mosque in Mecca. The mosque is also the second largest in the world. The tomb of the Prophet Muhammad is located here.
The mosque was originally built during the life of the Prophet, and then the Islamic rulers expanded and decorated it. Under the dome, painted green, is the tomb of Muhammad.
The exact date of construction of the dome is unknown, but its description can be found in manuscripts from the early 12th century. The first two Muslim caliphs, Abu Bakr and Umar, are also buried in Aisha’s room.
