Car
If you are driving, start from the Prophet's Mosque (Masjid Al-Nabawi). Head west on King Abdulaziz Road (السعودية) for about 4 kilometers. Continue straight until you reach Al Hijrah Road (طريق الهجرة). Turn left onto Al Hijrah Road and drive for about 3 kilometers. You will see the sign for Masjid Quba on your right, located at 3493 Al Hijrah Rd, Al Khatim, Madinah 42318.
Bus
For those using public transportation, you can catch a bus from the vicinity of the Prophet's Mosque. Look for buses heading to Quba or Al Khatim. The bus ride will take approximately 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. Once you arrive at the Quba bus stop, walk about 500 meters down Al Hijrah Road, and Masjid Quba will be on your left.
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct option, you can take a taxi from anywhere in Madinah. Simply tell the driver 'Masjid Quba' or point to the address '3493 Al Hijrah Rd, Al Khatim'. The taxi ride should take around 15-20 minutes depending on your starting location. Taxis are readily available around the Prophet's Mosque and various spots in the city.
