The Hijaz was long ruled by Muhammad's descendants, the sharifs, either as independent rulers or as vassals to larger empires. It was absorbed into Saudi Arabia in 1925.

Madina Munawara The 2nd Holiest City in World For Muslims
Medina اَلْمَدِينَة اَلْمَنَوَّرَة ("the city of the prophet (SAW)") is a city in the Hejaz region of western Saudi Arabia,

Masjid-e-Nabvi(SAW)
and serves as the capital of the Al Madinah Province. It is the second holiest city in Islam, and the burial place of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad(SAW). Medina is historically significant for being Muhammad(SAW)'s home after the Hijrah. Before the advent of Islam, the city was known as Yathrib, but was personally renamed by Muhammad(SAW).
Medina is home to the three oldest mosques in Islam, namely Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (The Prophet(SAW)'s Mosque), Quba Mosque (the first mosque in Islam's history),and Masjid al-Qiblatain (the mosque where the qibla was switched to Mecca).

Because of the Saudi government's religious policy and concern that historic sites could become the focus for idolatry, much of Medina's Islamic physical heritage has been destroyed since the beginning of Saudi rule.
The Islamic calendar is based on the emigration of Muhammad(SAW) and his followers(RA) to the city of Medina, which marks the start of the Hijri year in 622 CE, called Hijra.
