This live camera looks out over Medina, the second holiest city in Islam and a major destination in western Saudi Arabia. Watch the stream to see the city's pace and light as they change through the day. The page also shows local time and current weather for the city.
Medina lies in the Hejaz region of western Saudi Arabia, at an elevation of roughly six hundred metres in a landscape of dark volcanic rock and open desert plains. It is best known as the home of the Prophet's Mosque, which draws millions of Muslim pilgrims each year, and as the place to which the Prophet Muhammad migrated in 622. The city has a long history as a caravan stop and trading centre, and that heritage still shapes its streets and surrounding hills.
The camera title is simply the city name, so the exact framing is best judged from the live stream itself. Depending on the view, you may see parts of the urban fabric, minarets and domes, or the surrounding terrain. Daylight hours give the clearest picture, while early morning and late afternoon often bring softer light on the rock and buildings. Crowds and traffic typically rise around prayer times and during the pilgrimage seasons.
Medina has a hot desert climate, with summer temperatures often above forty degrees Celsius and mild, pleasant winters that suit most travellers. Rain is rare and usually falls in short bursts during the cooler months. The best time to visit is generally from late autumn to early spring. Use the weather block on this page to check current conditions before planning a trip or a viewing.
