Islamic Landmarks
The Bir Al Shifa Well holds significant importance in Islamic history. Located approximately an hour’s drive from the holy city of Madinah, it was originally dug to provide water for pilgrims traveling for Hajj and Umrah.
Initially, the well’s water was bitter and salty, causing illness for many who drank from it. It is reported that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was informed of this, and after placing his blessed saliva in the water, it miraculously became sweet and healthy by God’s will. Today, visitors can still stop by this well, located off the main highway, and taste the water’s sweetness.
