Visiting the Rawdah
Entry to ar-Rawdah ash-Sharifah needs a permit booked in advance through the Nusuk app, with separate times for men and women.
Visit
Location, today's prayer times, and etiquette for visitors.
Greeting the Prophet ﷺ
Visitors pass the grave calmly and quietly, giving salam to the Prophet ﷺ, then to Abu Bakr and Umar. Keep moving with the flow.
Dress modestly
Loose clothing covering arms and legs. Women cover their hair and use the women's entrances and prayer areas.
Shoes
Shoes are not worn inside. Use the numbered shoe racks or carry them in a bag, and remember your gate number.
Arrive early
The mosque fills well before Jumu'ah and during Ramadan and the Hajj season. Come early to pray inside rather than in the courtyards.
Zamzam water
Cooled Zamzam water is provided in containers throughout the mosque and courtyards.
