About Al `Awali
Where to stay in Al `Awali
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Visitors to Al `Awali almost always book inside Madinah proper, where the lodging trade concentrates around the Prophet's Mosque and the streets that feed it. Medina railway station marks the alternative. Rooms near that end of the city bring the Hejaz Railway Museum and Al-Madinah Museum into reach.
Choose the mosque side for the pilgrimage itself, and the museum quarter when the railway and the city's own written history pull harder. Al `Awali sits on the Al Madinah Province village roll, not the hotel roll.
About Al `Awali
What are the main landmarks in Al `Awali?
Every landmark filed against Al `Awali belongs to the city as a whole, and the Prophet's Mosque heads that list by a distance nothing else in Madinah closes. Behind it the record files Al-Madinah Museum, the Hejaz Railway Museum, and Medina railway station. The International Fair and Museum of the Prophet's Biography and Islamic Civilization rounds out the set.
Al `Awali borrows all of it.
What is the history of Al `Awali?
العوالي carries no founding date in the record. What the record does keep is a double listing: a village of Al Madinah Province on one page, and a quarter of Madinah on another. For dated history the visitor is sent to Madinah, where the Hejaz Railway Museum and Al-Madinah Museum keep what Al `Awali does not.
Where is Al `Awali?
Al `Awali is one of the village-scale quarters Madinah carries on its district roll within Al Madinah Province, Saudi Arabia.
