- shamimrajanAbu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates5 contributionsPeaceful, beautiful Must Visit MosqueJust Wow. Words cannot express the amazing experience we had at this beautiful mosque. It was very busy with overflow areas filled up as well but very organized and they moved the crowd in a nice, respectable and organized manner. We visited this holy place as well as the final resting place of the Prophet.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 7, 2023
- mwhamburgerSeattle, Washington849 contributionsan incredible mosque - even if you can only view it from the outside as a non Mulsimthis is the second largest mosque after Mecca. I had to hunt around to find the Arabic name for the Prophet's Mosque to write a review. Muhammed is buried here. The ground is spread over 20 some acres. It's unbelievably huge and holds inside/out a million people. Try to imagine that. When we were there and watched the pilgrims from lots of different countries enter the mosque we were truly in awe of the masses that seemed never ending. Non Muslims are not allowed to get inside (there is a green barrier). But what you can see as you walk around will blow your mind. It's stunning!!. What looks like umbrellas does also fold up. Totally beautiful to look at and architectural genius.Visited January 2024Traveled with friendsWritten February 4, 2024
- Baitullah Travel UKLondon, United Kingdom6 contributionsA holy trip to Masjid An Nabawi SAW in Feb 2024 - Baitullah Travel UKOur pilgrimage to Masjid Nabawi in February 2024 with Baitullah Travel was nothing short of a divine odyssey. From the instant we set foot in the hallowed precincts, a profound sense of spirituality engulfed us. The iconic green dome stood tall, an emblem of our faith and a beacon of hope for pilgrims worldwide. In the Rawdah, where the Prophet's (peace be upon him) serene resting place resides, our prayers echoed with unmatched sincerity and reverence. Baitullah Travel's impeccable arrangements ensured our journey was smooth and focused solely on our spiritual enlightenment. Their attention to detail allowed us to immerse ourselves fully in the mosque's rich history and architectural splendor. Every corner we explored whispered tales of devotion and inspired us to strengthen our connection with our faith.

One of the most beautiful and tranquil places on Earth. The mosque is designed so amazingly, and the architecture is modern, yet traditional. Very modern with fans and constant cleaning going on, there is no huge rush or mosh pit to get to one place or another and there's space to pray inside and outside of the Mosque, for Maghrib, I reccomend praying outside, the sunset sometimes makes the whole sky shine amazingly, a very unique experience and I can't wait to be there again.

Amazing place to relax and calm your soul religiously. Beautiful and clean mosque. Rare pieces of structures, columns and artwork through out the mosque. Familiarize yourself with the gate numbers. At this time women can enter Roza e Rusool from gate 25. So those who are staying at gate 6 or something like those numbers have to walk a lot. But no problem for men as they may enter anytime. Mosque is open 24 hours and welcomes you openly st any time of the day n night. Keep a prayer mat handy and slippers in your bag as you May pray at any corner on floors and it will be helpful. Wearing masks are recommended to stay safe from viruses and germs. You will love this place.

Salaam, we recently visited Madina and had followed the rules to book permits for Rawdah. My elderly mother and sister followed the instructions and waited in a queue for over an hour. Once at the permit check point, they showed the security lady a screenshot of the permit but were not allowed entry. Another lady had a printed copy but again refused entry.
The screenshots / paper copies are evidence so should not have been discarded. There is a code and reference numbers on the permit and security dont even bother looking at the information to confirm.
The Nusuk app and new process for booking ummrah is ridiculous. In Makkah, nobody checked our permits as we were in ihram, they just let us through without question. In Madinah, its been quite the opposite and very disappointing. Ince rejected, there is no way to re-book until days later, when most people are to leave. Some points to note:
1. How do Saudi expect all attendees to have network, to open the app in a foreign country when sometimes the Nusuk app doesnt even load properly.
2. Why are the security not just using a scanner to scan the code and confirm rather than look at you and then decide based on discrimination.
3. There is no process to complain or escalate the issue. Whilst the app may be a way to improve the process, it has terribly failed those attending.
4. Why is there so much discrimination in Saudi? Unless you are a Saudi or in some cases Arab, the staff, security, etc treat you like 3rd class citizens.
Ummrah is a very important event in a muslims life and Saudi government should be making it easy and comfortable for Hajjis.
Although Makkah experience went fairly well, the Madinah experience has left a very sad and disappointing memory, especially when this would be the last time my mother can travel to visit.
Saudi Government - scrap the Nusuk App if you are not going to scan the permits and go back to old ways that worked.

Once again had the absolute privilege of visiting the beautiful and awe inspiring Masjid Nabeweya in Medina.
Traveled with family members including young children and again am absolutely astounded at the peacefulness and calmness of this massive prayer facility.
You find yourself completely forgetting time and before you know it you have sat under these beautiful open umbrellas for a few hours.
It is full to capacity but nevetheless everyone is feeling the same peace and calm as you can tell by their expressions.
A truly wonderful experience and I have felt it every time I have visited.

We loved the beautiful architecture, serenity and peace in this most holy mosque of the prophet of Islam. The Mosque is very well maintained. The best time to convey salaams is after midnight when crowds start thin. Also a good time to pray in Riaazal Janaa.

We last visited Madinah February 2020 - bustling of activities, people all over the world. Lots of shops, restaurants etc. Now the place is almost empty with mostly local people. It was sad that we could not enter Raudhah. People follows instructions and very orderly in the Mosque courtyard and also inside.

The area of the Prophet's Mosque is overwhelming and of very special beauty. Also exciting are the two affiliated museums on Mohammed's life history and the development history of the mosque. More about Medina can be found in the travel report "Saudi Arabia - Notes on a trip in autumn 2024". The book will be published in print and e-book form in April 2025 and tells of a two-month individual journey through the country.

I enjoyed my 10 days pilgrimage visit to the Grand Mosque, saluted the graves of prophet Muhammad and Nabi Issa ( Jesus) which are built inside the Grand Mosque. I had also visited the Grand Mosques Al Aqsa in the city of Jerusalem and the Grand Mosque Al Haram in the city of Mecca. These 3 places are linked as holy places for the pilgrimage. Many tourists book visits to these 3 places in one journey of pilgrimage.

I heard the women doors are closed in masjid nabawi. All women pray outside. Even ziyarah after fajr is not taking place anymore from gate no. 27.
My mother is there right now and has encountered these problems. Anyone have more info on this.
Written February 16, 2024
for woman prayer place you can go to Gate 338 and many place around Masjid Nabawi. for Rawdah you must use NuSuk to book a visit time or if you use Umrah travel usual they will assisted you with tashreh.
