Detailed explanation-1: -People. The residents of Medina are Arabic-speaking Muslims, most of whom belong to the Sunni branch of Islam. The city is one of the most populous in Saudi Arabia, and it is common for Muslims who make the pilgrimage to settle in the city.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mecca is home of the Kaabah situated in Masjidul Haram. It is a cubical building, which was initially built by Prophet Ibrahim, and his son, Ismaeel. Madinah is the house of tomb of Holy Prophet (PBUH), the final Messenger of God. The twin cities of Makkah and Madinah are off-limits for non-Muslims.

The two holy cities of Islam, Mecca and Medina, are traditionally known as the Ḥaramayn, which is the dual form of ḥaram, thus meaning “The Two Sanctuaries".
