Rawdah permit: how to book

1. Download Nusuk and sign in with the passport number used on your visa.
2. Open Prayer in Rawdah al-Sharifah under services.
3. Add every traveller in your group - each needs their own permit.
4. Pick a date inside your Madinah stay and take whatever time slot shows; night slots (after Isha) are the most available.
5. Save the QR code offline. It is scanned at the Rawdah gate.

• It is free. Anyone charging for Rawdah permits is reselling what you can book yourself.
• One visit per stay is the current norm - slots re-open only if capacity allows.
• Women’s hours are separate, generally after Fajr and late morning, and often easier to book than men’s slots.
• Salam at the grave from the front of the chamber does not need a permit; only praying inside the Rawdah enclosure does.
• Arrive 30 minutes before your slot at the gate printed on the permit.

Check again after midnight Saudi time when new inventory releases, try single-traveller bookings instead of the whole group, and keep your Madinah nights flexible in the app. Your package operator’s Saudi ground handler can sometimes secure group slots - ask before paying anyone.
