Description
Located 3.2 km southeast of the Prophet’s Mosque, Al Foqair Well—also known as Salman Al-Farsi’s Well—is a historic site deeply rooted in Islamic history. Dating back to pre-Islamic times, it was originally part of Banu Qurayza’s lands in Al-Awali. The name "Al Foqair" comes from the Arabic word meaning "digging the ground for planting palm saplings," a reflection of the remarkable event that took place here.
