 Where did the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) live?

In modern day Saudi Arabia - he was born and raised in the city of Makkah (مكة) and moved to Madinah Munawwarah (المدينة المنورة), where he is buried again.

 Makkah (also known as Mecca) was historic and revered as a holy city in Arabia, even before the advent of Islam, due to the existence of the Ka’bah (كعبة). To this day, Muslims visit it to perform the sacred pilgrimage (Hajj and 'Umrah).
