Why Do You Need a Riyaz-ul-Jannah Permit?

Every day, thousands of pilgrims visit Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah. However, Riyaz-ul-Jannah is a small area and can only accommodate a limited number of worshippers at one time.

To make every visit safe, organized, and comfortable, the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah introduced an online permit system through the Nusuk App.

Booking your visit in advance helps to:

Reduce overcrowding

Organize the flow of pilgrims

Give everyone a fair chance to visit

It allows pilgrims to access many important services during their journey, including:
