Jazakallah Khair for such a wonderful detailed video. It truly has answered majority if not all of my questions. May Allah ( sw) reward your efforts.
Jzk 🧡
Your videos helped me so much in 2022. Now I’m sharing your videos with my friends who are going this year.
Thank you so glad to hear
Thank you ,so much for great information May Allah reward you.
Jzk
❤JazakhAllah
Jazakallah
SubhanAllah this was such a helpful video! Insha'Allah I'm performing Umrah in February 2024 and these tips and things I didn't even think of are going to help! Jazakallah Khair
Salaams, I will be visiting in february 2024 too. Can't wait ☺️
Salam, me too in February May Allah ease our journey. In shaa Allah 🤲
Thanks very helpful
Alhmuduillah I am going in two weeks time on Turkish airline, I hope they will allow us to bring Zam Zam water
Thank you so much!! Are you from South America? I really like your accent!!
No I'm half Greek half Bulgaria
Oh mashallah, I just liked your accent and was curious. Jazakallah Khayr.@@Muslimtravelgirl
Such a helpful video!! Answered some questions I had alhamdulilah! Have you stayed in jumeirah makkah? And as a comparison hyatt regency? And just one other question, which madinah hotels would you recommend for cleanliness and location to womens gate? What are your thoughts on Dad al Iman and Shahd al Madinah post-covid? Jazakallah Khayr
I love the hyatt hotel I have stayed many times. The jumeirah opened a few weeks ago and I haven't been yet. The Dar Al iman I have stayed and really enjoyed it the shard is great location too. I haven't stayed but heard very good things. Hilton is another option. Though little outdated.
Do you have a video on recommendations/ guide to things to do and places to go while there?
No but what a great idea will make one 👍
Salaam, if you are unable to secure a booking for rawdah via nusuk app, is there an alternative area to pray in/view prophets resting place gates etc?
Hi. This is such a great video! Thank you so much. I was wondering if you had any information about canceling a Rawdah permit; if you cancel it, can you book it again (assuming slots are available)? I've been reading that there is a 30-day waiting period but it's unclear if that's for people who miss their time slot or people who cancel. If you could clarify, I'd be immensely grateful
I think last year I cancelled to rebook and couldn't.
Salaam sis, thank you for your very informative videos. I will be performing Umrah during Ramadan in shaa Allah. I tried to follow the link in your description for the e-sim but it’s not working.
Try again, it should.work now. 🙂
As Salaam Ali Kum Sister! Thank you for putting this video together! In terms of tourism insurance, are you suggesting govt hospitals are not good? Also, for the Harmain train! For those that are coming from international, from the airlines we're allowed 2 suitcases! So for the train, is there a way to get around boarding the train with 2 suit cases- checking it in. Thank you!
Yes,I wouldn't use gov hospital. You can go to the Haramain train and send your luggage by post but it is hassle ass it arrives next day and costs Money. If you can have 1 suitcases it is easier
Jazak Allahu khairan for this video sister.
I want to go to umrah in Ramadan 2024 from UK.
I didn't get vaccinated for covid19 and don't want to take it.
You did say it's not required anymore.
I checked online and it said it is still required do you think it's not updated or did they recently update it necessary again. Please do let me know if there is a trusted website I can get an updated information about vaccines required to travel from UK or any link to show as a proof if I was told it is required.
Jazak Allahu khairan.
Salam Aleykum sister. I am travelling to Saudi Arabia for Umrah with my mother (she will need a wheelchair) for the first time.
Do you have any advice regarding accessibility with regards to performing Umrah with my mother and also attending all 5 prayers at Masjid Al Haram.
At Masjid Al Nabawi, can I enter with my mother and accompany her to the Rawdah and during prayer times?
Thank you
Great video, what about the nusuk app for the elderly that don’t know how to use these smart phones etc. thanks
They still need it.
Any encouraging words for someone who feels it to be more depressing and scary in 2024 if you're not android phone savvy compared with the 90s where things didn't require visas and prebooking for rawdah...
Does the gov even have useful helpful people like you employed with them?
You're taking this all on your shoulders as responsibility for offering helpful info.... Grateful.
Assalamu Alikum
What is the hotel system we have to book person?
W.Salam sister. Great job indeed. Do I need to visit the Saudi Embassy for biometrics to get a tourist E-Visa. I am planning for Umrah in March 2024 insha Allah while traveling from London to Islamabad via Saudi. What if I apply for a Transit visa? I heard I can stay for 4 days, with a one-night free stay as well.
I am going Ummrah on the 24th of January. How advance I can book Rawda while I’m in UK
Salam sis :) do you or your husband know any umrah tour guide???
Is bus available from jeddah to madina at the airport please?
Assalamu alaikum, InshaAllah I have booked to visit Mecca and Madinah for the first time on 24 July 24 with the intention of doing umrah and Rawdah. At the moment Nusuk is not showing any slots for umrah for 3 months, is this because of hajj? Will slots likely open as hajj will be over by then?
Can we take zamzam with toerist visa or do we need umrah visa to take zamzam?
Hi there so many people having bad experiences with Saudi Rail even having to pay more for luggage even though they have just come from an airline on your a train. Can you do a special video to help people with the advice thanks
They are stricter than airlines, but yes inshaAllah great idea jzk
Hello, i just received my tourist e-visa. Can i travel to Jeddah with my tourist visa. I read that i can only visit Jeddah with an Umrah visa. Thank you very much!
Assalamu Aleykum. I will be traveling in October 4-11 on a tourist visa. Will I have any problems to make Umrah?
Great video! Just a quick question, I’ve heard that we can only visit Rawdah once in 30 days. Is that true?
yes it is
I really want zam zam but I also want to apply for the tourist visa. I’m leaving from Jeddah to dammam. Can you buy the zam zam at dammam airport or can I buy it from Jeddah even though I’m leaving Saudi from dammam
JzkAllahu Khairan for this sister. Does the ewaiver have travel insurance inc with it? I know with umrah visa they have medical cover.
No it doesn't. I have a video in the insurances as well
MashaAllah sister thank you for this useful information video. I am planning to go to umra with my husband in 2 weeks time l understand it is short of time from uk what would you advise me sister
Salam Alaikum, Just wondering with the electronic visa waiver can you book a slot at the rawdah?
Yes you can. you need to download nusuk and add your details
Salam! We are going beginning of Jan and I am really torn between Anwar Al Madinah Movenpick and Pullman Zamzam Madina, any insight? Leaning towards Pullman but is the walk to women's entrance really inconvenient?
Thank you for this super helpful video and all your other work!
I believe my husband stayed at the Anwar and it was OK. I would go towards the Pullman personally, make sure you check the deals for the black friday sale and save some money on booking it.
I have stayed in Pullman zam zam medina. It is ok and walkable around ( we did it in July when it was hot, so Jan should be doable) and they have a shuttle service also for ladies regularly.
I personally didn’t have good experience there and wouldn’t consider it 5*. But most hotels in medina seem outdated.
agree the only one close to 5 star is the Oberoi but also very expensive. @@amenaam7458
We stayed at ZamZam Madinah. It was my first time and my husband's 2nd time there. We had our 3 kids and walking to the masjid was maybe a 3-4 minute walk. It wasn't bad at all. We also went in July and it was hot. There's a little grocery store right next door which we loved because our kids went in there often for snacks, noodles, or juice/water. The hotel itself seems 4 star, it was a little outdated but our stay was very very pleasant.
Thank you so much sister. Very helpful video indeed.
Two Qs please sister, are there liquid restrictions on the Al-Harmain trains? And how far is the train station from Masjid nabawi by taxi?
Yes, I did mention they have reactions on the hand luggage 100ml like airports. Around 15min from masjid
Thanks very much, sister. I meant, there are liquid restrictions going through Al-Harmain train stations?
Yes they do same as flying restrictions
Asalam o Alaikum, I have booked my fligh for May 16 inshaAllah for Umrah do you think it might be cutting too short?
JazakAllah Khair
i feel it might be yes. But then again wouldn't know until the time.
Salaams! Is there any guidance to add companions in the nusuk app? I see that children can enter with parents, but how do I make sure my mother in law can enter with me or how does my husband get the same date as me?
no companions in the nusuk sadly
I am going to Umrah next week, for Zamzam can you buy zamzam in small bottles from local shops/grocery shops and put this in your checked bag ?
You can just fill a bottle
Mam assalamualaikum, I am with my family members going to perform Omra middle of next month. You mentioned it's hard to get permission for rawda, I mean it's for jiara of prophet pbu graveyard or you mentioned about riyadul jannah? Please mention. Next week I will apply for visa thru online. So what should I do get slot for jiara and jannatul rawda?
Riyadh jennah is hard. So you need to check daily. 4 weeks before they open. I have a video in this too
If someone is not good with technology or knows how apps work can we book Rawadah slot together ?is it possible to book rawadha for a number of persons or it’s only for 1?
Haramain train how many bags can 1 person take? Can I take 2 cabin bags, or 1 medium with me?
You are allowed 1 handbag but in cases they letnhandluggage and 1 suitcase. Rawdah is individual if they are kids they might let with parent. But adults need it. It is easy to set up
Jazk@@Muslimtravelgirl
Assalamuralaikum sister.
I've got the tourist visa. Do we get to book Rawdah via nusuk app with this type of visa? Or only umrah visa people can book via nusuk? Thank you very much
yes you can, you register with Nusuk and you can do Rawdah if there is a slot to book
Assalaumu alaikum. Thanks so much for the detailed information. Just confirming that we can perform Umrah without booking in Nusuk, but we won't be able to do Rawdah without booking, right? Insha'Allah we will be travelling in the last week of January from Australia. Currently checking Nusuk app - which shows 'no availability' for both Umrah and Rawdah. pls reply! JAK.
you are too early. four week before an for rawdah everyday as slots are limited
I meant daily once you hit the four weeks before travelling
Assalamu Aleykum sister. Me and my husband are going to Saudi Arabia this October, and we need a lot of help. Help with visa, tour guide and how to get around. Is there a way to contact you?
salams check out my website with all the info you have mentioned muslimtravelgirl.com/umrah
Assalamu alaikum sister, please can you let me know the right nusuk app link. I am seeing more than one and got confused. Also can we book as a family in nusuk app
no family booking, you need individual. www.nusuk.sa/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAuNGuBhAkEiwAGId4aoiDp1arL_qevyGxxawINzWfFvIu7Nm5QmXJ59EJR7QJaY_ksUtD-BoCvHoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Can you bring an airline carry on bag on board the Hramain Train or is it only a small bag pack or purse allowed?
Yes you can
.I have done this
@@Muslimtravelgirl Jazakallah thank you so much. So to confirm, I can bring one checked luggage and one carry on luggage suitcase with wheels per person for free?
Salam , Can you make a vedios about kids application, how to fill kid applications, Many people are struggling to fill kid applications. Plz
thank you will do
What times would you recommmend to visit the rawda in Medina? And what’s the most reliable app for prayer times in saudi that I could get in advance?
Anytime you get slot is the one. They are hard to come. Check any app but haramain on youtube has timings too
I book rawda permit but in app just show date and time ..not show colour for crowd???
@@sciencebasic373 colours only show for umrah
@@Muslimtravelgirl I book permit .how I know my permit is active
@@Muslimtravelgirl thanks for reply..I am very worry about permit
Sister, I want more information on the electronic visa waiver. I’m a US citizen and I want to know if I can perform Umrah with that visa without mehram. Please let me know.
You need tourist visa. Which you can get and do solo. The waiver is for UK only
Credit cards are haram because the bank lends money to the user in return for interest, and this interest is the price of the annual subscription to the credit card.
not really, there is difference of opinion as you get rewards / perks for it so it is paying for that. DIfferent opinions if you don't want to have them that is OK but make sure you protect yourself and your money against fraud just in case.
I am hearing conflicting information about when Nusuk app opens time slots for the Holy Rawdah visit. Is it 7 day or 14 day in advance? This is for Dec 2023. I am checking the app and all of Dec 2023 is greyed out all the way to Dec 31st.
Check daily several times.they release spots. If grey no spots available
The slots are open every Friday afternoon and get booked within few hours, please check on Friday.
Hi sister how much is a taxi from Makkah to Madinah ? We are 6 in a group so a larger vehicle and recommendations or approx price
Not sure for large but normal is 150 sar approx
Lovey video, very informative, but please try to limit the hand movements,very distracting it's to much, it's almost like sign language...
I know, but I'm greek, we speak with hands ✋️ more than words 😆 need to tape them
Hi, Could you please help me out, how to fill up the child application for Saudi waiver visa for tourism …I am unable to fill the section “occupation” of the child as you do not find any option matches with study or student and it also asks “Dependent app no. and passport details, which is bit confusing and not let you go through without filling these sections…many thanks
just put any occupation. it doesn't matter and the application is processed. I have no idea why they have not fixed it yet.
Thank you for your reply and a very well-informed video about Waiver visa.
However, I am still struggling to find out what is the “Dependent app number" or how can it be made for child application... please let me know anyone who has done waiver visa for their children...... I have checked almost each official website to follow the guidelines but failed to find out one...... any help will be highly appreciated.
@@tariqulhossain948 just do a new application for your child. That is the easiest
How many luggage allowed to take to the train?
1suitcase is allowed but you can ship your second suitcase if taking but will arrive next day and costs too much
Are the taxi rates limited to one person or when i travel with my 3 person household i pay for example 3x 60 sar?
no it is per car to the maximum amount of seats. So 4 people in a. taxi pay the same for the whole car

No. Also I t would be unfair to peoplle

i watched your solo umrah video,
is it safe to travel alone in taxi in mecca? can i travel alone in taxi from mecca to jeddah airport ?
jazakallah
I have and it is safe. If you want pick uber or get the train. It is easier to get it on the way out during the day.
Aoa, sis i have a concern related to solo umerah. I will be travelling alone without even female companion but having umrah package through agency.Would it to be ok

No

My flight is tomorrow and I applied evisa for umrah visa from UK and they gave me tourist visa.
And my hotel dates are from 13-18 May.
Its before 15 dul qadah.
Is it fine?
Or will security not let me go to Makkah?
yes, if you have uk residency or permanent etc tourist visa allows umrah and you are in the dates that is out of hajj season still until 23rd
@@Muslimtravelgirl jazak Allah khair
You gave me such a relief.
People were sending me images that I can’t enter. From 4th May security is operating and you can only visit rest of the saudia. I was so worried and then I saw your videos and I can breathe. Jazak Allah I will pray for you, I was so misguided and I was crying all day that Allah has closed doors on me.
Is it true that the visa waiver doesn't allow you to take Zam Zam?
It does. There was a period when zamzam was not allowed for the past months tjeu have without issue
@@Muslimtravelgirl Thanks! May Allah bless your efforts.
Meningitis vaccin is indeed not required to obtain your visa but it is actually obligatory for everyone doing Umrah or Hajj.
Asakm can you enter Saudi Arabia without meningitis vaccine?
@@TanveerAli-mx8ke with the tourist visa you can and you probably can enter the Haram in Mekkah as well without vaccine but it is obligatory to be vaccinated for meningitis when doing Umrah or Hajj.
@@appelsap11811thank you for information , do they check it as well, because I checked with my package provider and they said it’s not required

the enforcement of vaccines and tracking of people is most definitely something our Prophet PBUH would have never considered as HALAL.
