3. The Nusuk App & Rawdah Sharif Permit

Every pilgrim visiting Madinah Munawwarah must obtain an official appointment to pray in the blessed Rawdah ash-Sharifah (the Garden of Paradise) inside Al-Masjid an-Nabawi. This is conducted through the official Saudi government app called Nusuk (formerly Eatmarna):

• Once your Umrah visa is issued, download the Nusuk application on your smartphone.
• Register using your Visa Number and Passport Number.
• Select your preferred date and time slot for the Rawdah visit for Men or Women.
• Our tour group leaders assist every pilgrim in securing their Nusuk slot so no one misses this blessed opportunity.
