Saudi Arabia has announced new visitation timings and procedures for Roza-e-Rasool (PBUH) at Al Masjid-e-Nabawi. Worshippers must now obtain permits through the Nusuk platform, with bookings generally allowed once per year. The “Instant Track” option provides additional access for those near the Prophet’s Mosque. Entry is designated through the southern courtyards near Makkah Gate 37, with special arrangements for elderly visitors using manual wheelchairs.
The updated schedule also separates timings for men and women. On regular days, men can visit from 2:00am until Fajr and from 11:20am until Isha, while women may enter after Fajr until 11:00am and after Isha until 2:00am. On Fridays, male visitors have three slots, and women can perform ziyarah after Fajr until 9:00am alongside regular timings. These changes aim to regulate crowd flow and ensure a more organized experience for worshippers.
