Introduction

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the largest and most developed markets in the region, which drew the attention of the investors from all over the world due to its distinctive and promising investment opportunities, especially since it is the country of the Two Holy Mosques and Qibla of Muslims, and in light of the economic developments taking place in the Kingdom in general and Al Medina region in particular, Al Madinah has witnessed tremendous urban growth and development, and huge investments have been made for the infrastructure projects and expansions of the Prophet’s Mosque, in order to increase the capacity for the visitors, whose numbers are increasing year after year, with the increasing number of Muslims in the world. From this standpoint, the idea of establishing Al Manakha Urban Project Development Company came to build an urban project and develop the historical area of Al Manakha that adjoins and overlooks the courtyard of the Prophet’s Mosque, and to become an outlet for the visitors of the Prophet’s Mosque due to its proximity to it on its open squares, shaded areas and comfortable elements that give visitors a comfortable atmosphere. As our target is the interest in the religious tourism.
