Saudi authorities have announced updated timings and new procedures for visitors wishing to offer prayers and pay their respects at the Roza of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and perform nawafil in Riaz-ul-Jannah at Al Masjid-e-Nabawi.
The arrangements aim to ensure comfort, safety, and smooth movement of worshippers, with separate schedules for men and women and regulated entry through the Nusuk platform.
Officials stated that visitors must obtain permits via Nusuk, which are generally available once every 365 days, while an “Instant Track” option is also provided for those already near the mosque.
Entry to the Noble Roza is designated through the southern courtyards near Makkah Gate 37, with special arrangements such as manual wheelchairs available for elderly worshippers.
For men, visiting hours on regular days will be from 2:00am till Fajr, and again from 11:20am till Isha. On Fridays, three time slots will be available: 2:00am till Fajr, 9:20am to 11:20am, and after Jummah till Isha.
For women, on regular days, visits will be allowed after Fajr till 11:00am, and again after Isha till 2:00am. On Fridays, women may visit after Fajr till 9:00am, along with the night slot after Isha till 2:00am.
These measures reflect Saudi Arabia’s continued efforts to manage crowds with dignity, care, and respect, ensuring a peaceful and spiritually fulfilling experience for pilgrims from all over the world.
