Considered one of the most beautiful valleys in Saudi Arabia, Wadi Al-Ghamar is slowly developing a reputation as a great destination to escape the hustle and bustle of the city thanks to its picturesque nature, dense forest, flowing rivers and fresh air. Located in the southern Jazan province, Wadi Al-Ghamar is situated near a small mountain range in the area between Haroub and Al-Haqu. Visitors can explore interesting rock formations, white soft sand and lush greenery including an abundance of palm trees and shrubs because of the region’s perpetually rainy weather.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The Green Dome (القبة الخضراء‎) is a green-coloured dome built above the tomb of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and early Muslim Caliphs, Abu Bakr and Umar. The dome is located in the southeast corner of Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Mosque of the Prophet) in Medina.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The structure dates back to 1279 CE or 678 AH, when an unpainted wooden cupola was built over the tomb. It was later rebuilt and painted using different colours twice in the late 15th century and once in 1817. The dome was first painted green in 1837, and hence became known as the "Green Dome".⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Muhammad's grave lies within the confines of what used to be his and his wife Aisha's house, the Hujra. During his lifetime it adjoined the mosque. The mosque was expanded during the reign of Caliph al-Walid I to include his tomb. Muhammad's grave is an important reason for the particular high sanctity of the mosque, as the Dome of the Prophet marks the location of the tomb. Millions visit it every year since it is a tradition to visit the mosque after the pilgrimage to Mecca.
