The Nusuk platform, managed by the Ministry of Haj and Umrah, has introduced two additional methods for booking and praying at Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifah in Madinah, Saudi Arabia.
This improves ease of access and convenience for pilgrims, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
Key features of the new booking options
1. Instant booking
- Allows pilgrims to book multiple visits to Rawdah throughout the year.
- Only available when near the Prophet’s Mosque and within its capacity limits.
2. Waitlist
- Enables visitors to register if slots are unavailable.
- Pilgrims receive notifications when a slot becomes available, allowing them to confirm their reservation.
This follows the announcement made by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Haj and Umrah in December 2023, allowing a once-a-year permit for visiting Rawdah.
