Tour overview
What this tour is for
Badr sits some distance from Madinah, so this is a full-day trip. The drive is part of the experience: your guide uses the journey to set out the background, so the site itself is not the first time you hear the story.
The day includes rest stops and time at the site, returning to Madinah in the late afternoon or evening.
