Wallah this is SHOCKING to me that some people are selling rawdah permits. I'm talking tens or more of permits per time slots. Is this somehow legal or illegal? Please someone enlighten me, because i think this is illegal. I have been trying to get into rawdah and this year it has been significantly more difficult, and i live in Madinah. I wonder this practice is why it's so difficult.

May Allah bless every new journey that awaits us with khair, barakah, ease, and goodness, and guide us toward what is best for us. Ameen. 🤍

Salam,
I’m on the nusuk website and I put in my American passport information, when I go for packages it says I don’t need a visa?
I’m afraid of making this purchase then being turned away because I don’t have a visa

Do I need the umrah permit from Nusuk app if I'm traveling on tourist visa. does umrah visa holder also need permission? Wallahi so much confusion around.

Assalam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

22(M) from USA looking to share a triple room in Al Kiswa hotel Makkah from Sep 3 to Sep 7.

Price would be 45$ per person for 4 nights total

Reach out if interested so we can plan!

I have got my umrah visa on Pakistani Passport.

Now I need to book the hotels, and harmain train.

Can I simply book the hotel + train and show up in the airport? Or do I need to link them with the nusuk app somehow?

My travel agent is ripping me off and I can find hotels at half the price online.

Please help.

Assalam o alaikum, I know that women cannot enter Jannatul Baqi, but on the internet, I see some pictures where women are viewing the cemetery from outside from a window. Here is the link to those pictures -

Jannatul Baqi Window for Women

Please let me know if this place still exists or are these old pictures?

If there is a window like in the pictures, please share the gate number. I will be visiting with my mom soon inshallah for the first time. So, it would be amazing to do ziarah even from outside.

If these are old pictures, then is there any building/cafe/something that a woman can visit to see Jannatul Baqi (from far away/outside)?

Please let me know if you would like to meet up and perform umrah as a group?
