They merely:
Veiled themselves and didn't flaunt it
Sought forgiveness and didn't persist
Took ownership of it and don't justify it
And acted with excellence after they had erred - Ibn al-Qayyim
hmm mecca is tempting, praying right infront of the kab'a every day and hearing the adhaan. But Medina also praying in the prophets masjid every day hmm
I haven't been to either. But, I think to live, I'd like to live in Medina. I imagine it to have an atmosphere of calmness and scholarly endeavours.
After I've been to both, InshAllah, I'll let you know.

‘Say: If the ocean were ink wherewith to write out the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted, even if We added another ocean like it.’~Al Qu'raan (18:109)
I would go for Madinah. I've been to Makkah and my friend lived in both a long time. Medina has more knowledge and it's protected by God, he said you can actually feel it. Its people are kinder.

Madina.
I've been to both of them only once and that was during Hajj. And like people say I found Madina more calm and tranquil. In addition to that maybe two or three umrahs in a month.
Yes. Only problem is that as some say, especially for Asians and Arabs, it is very hard to get a residency and work permit there in Saudi. A cheeky friend said "It's easier to go to paradise than it is to go to Saudi!!"
