Internal Tour

So Big is the mosque in Madinah, the pilgrimage organisers normally fix a morning to take around the mosque and explain the historical settings to it.

We would listen and digest the explaination. The climax of the internal tour is the visit to the Prophet's Tomb

obmar,

I notice that the woman in that photo is not wearing a Burkha. Were there any women who did wear one??

Yes, most don't use it.

In fact is is disallowed during the actual Haj (when one is in ihram)

Prior to islam, Burkha was already common in the desert lands as a means to protect from dusks and winds.
