Visiting Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifah in Madinah is a deeply meaningful experience. As highlighted in the video from اسأل المدينة, the most important thing to remember is that entry requires a pre-booked appointment—and you can arrange it conveniently from your mobile phone.
Before You Go: Book Your Al-Rawdah Appointment
According to the video, before heading to Al-Rawdah, make sure you complete the essential step: pre-book your visit. Entrance to Al-Rawdah requires a prior reservation, so your planning should start with securing your time slot.
You can make this booking using the NUSUK app directly from your mobile.
Step-by-Step: Booking Through the NUSUK App
The video explains that booking is done through the NUSUK app with a straightforward process:
- Open the NUSUK application on your mobile.
- Select a service such as زيارة الروضة الشريفه (Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifah visit).
- Choose the booking method that suits you (usual booking or instant booking).
Option 1: Usual Booking (Choose Date and Time)
The “usual booking” method lets you choose the day and the time that works best for you. Once you’ve selected your preferred slot, confirm your booking and ensure the reservation is successfully completed.
Tip from the video: after you finalise your selection, double-check that your booking is confirmed.
Option 2: Instant Booking (When Available)
The video also mentions a second method: instant booking. This method may appear only when you are within the “حر وقتها” (available time window/coverage). In that case, the available appointments show with visual indicators (described as lightning or برق marks).
To use instant booking:
- Look for the displayed time slots marked with the lightning indicator.
- Select an available time.
- Continue and complete your booking immediately.
Always be attentive at the final stages and make sure you finish the steps correctly so your reservation is secured.
After You Book: Check Your Permit Status
Once your booking is confirmed, the video advises an important follow-up step: track notifications from NUSUK and check the status of your تصريح (permit/authorisation).
This matters because your ability to enter depends on having the right authorisation in place before you arrive.
Prepare Your QR Code Before You Go
The video specifically highlights that you should prepare your QR code before reaching the entry point. By getting everything ready in advance, you can reduce delays and enter more smoothly at your scheduled time.
Arrive Early and Use the Correct Route
To make your visit as smooth as possible, the video recommends that you should:
- Arrive early before your appointed time.
- Head towards the designated route for Al-Rawdah at your time.
It also mentions that you can arrange your car parking for the Al-Rawdah area more easily through the NUSUK app, helping streamline your on-the-day experience.
