We felt tranquility surrounding this historical mosque, beautiful and reflect peaceful within.
It's a small mosque near the Zamzam Water Collection Gate, also known as Gate 310 of the Prophet's Mosque (Al Nabawi). It is historically significant, as it is named after Abu Bakr, the first Caliph of Islam, who also offered Eid prayers in the spot as the Prophet ﷺ, following tradition.
Masjid Al Ghamamah is very close to it. Many individuals get confused, and the simplest way to differentiate is that Al Ghamamah has multiple mid-sized domes, whereas Abu Bakar only has one large dome.
A few pigeons from the mosque of Al Ghamamah also fly around here. You can sit on the surrounding tree-adjacent seating places and spend some time in the afternoon as well.

This is a small Masjid near Masjid E Nawabi. Small but yet peaceful. First Khalifa Hazrat Abu Bakr leaded Eid prayer here and later Khalifa Omar made this Mashid here. It is from 13th century.
A must visit for muslims and if possible pray 2 rakat nafal salah here as an honor to this Masjid. Its close to gate 309.
Masjid Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq is a small but very meaningful mosque close to Al-Masjid an-Nabawi. It is named after the first Caliph of Islam and the closest companion of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
The mosque is simple and quiet, but its connection to Abu Bakr gives it great value. Many people stop by to pray, reflect, and remember his closeness to the Prophet ﷺ. It is usually not as crowded as the larger mosques, so it feels peaceful.
