Women visit the Rawdah in separate, women-only time slots booked through the Nusuk app. Your permit shows the date, time and where to report; women usually gather at a set point in the women's section and are taken in groups by female staff. Arrive early, carry your phone with the permit, and expect queueing. Exact timings and entry points change, so always follow what your permit and the on-site staff say.
Reviewed by our team — always confirm current official rules.
- Women have their own Rawdah slots, separate from men.
- Each woman needs her own permit on her own Nusuk profile.
- Report to the place shown on the permit and follow female staff.
- Allow time for queueing; carry water and keep the visit calm.
- Families often book men's and women's slots on different times.
Agree a numbered gate or hotel lobby as the meeting point before entering. Phones can be busy, and men's and women's visits rarely finish at the same time.
How women's Rawdah visits work
Women are admitted in organised groups during women's time slots. Female staff guide each group in and out, and the visit itself is short so that everyone can pray.
Finding your entry point
The permit in Nusuk shows where to report. Women's entrances are on the women's side of Masjid an-Nabawi; if unsure, ask the female staff at any women's entrance and show your permit.
Planning as a family
Book each person separately. A common approach is for men and women to visit on different slots and for one person to stay with elders or children. A hotel close to the women's prayer areas makes this much easier — see our guide to Madinah hotels near the women's prayer areas.
