Guide
What Is the Nusuk Rawdah Permit (Tasreeh)?
Entry to the Rawdah al-Sharifah is organised through timed permits known as tasreeh, issued exclusively via Saudi Arabia's official Nusuk platform.
This guide explains what the permit is, how it works, and what to watch out for — whether you are booking for yourself or for an entire group.
Why is a permit required?
The Rawdah is a small area that receives millions of visitors each year. Timed permits keep the visit orderly and dignified: each visitor is assigned a specific date and a short time window, which prevents crowding and lets everyone pray calmly.
Entry without a valid permit is not allowed. Stewards at the entrance scan each visitor's QR code and check that the name matches their identity document.
How the tasreeh works
When a booking is confirmed on Nusuk, the platform issues a permit tied to the visitor's profile. It carries the visit date, the assigned time window, and a QR code that acts as the entry ticket.
The permit is personal and non-transferable. It appears in the Nusuk app under the visitor's account, and a copy can be saved or printed for the entrance check.
Validity and frequency rules
A permit is valid only for its stated date and time window — arriving on a different day or hours late means the permit cannot be used.
How often a visitor may book a Rawdah visit is governed by Nusuk and can change from season to season. The app shows which dates are open for your profile; if no dates appear, your profile may be within a waiting period from a previous visit.
Permits for groups
For agencies, the challenge is scale: every pilgrim needs an individual permit, and open windows close quickly. RawdahGo automates this — appointments are created for entire passenger lists the moment availability appears, and each pilgrim's tasreeh QR code is delivered automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Is the tasreeh a paid document?
No. Nusuk issues the Rawdah permit free of charge. Fees only arise when an agency uses a service provider to manage bulk bookings.
Can I transfer my permit to someone else?
No. The permit is tied to the visitor's identity and is checked against an ID document at the entrance.
What happens if I miss my time window?
The permit expires with its window. You will need to book a new appointment through Nusuk when availability allows.
Do children need their own permit?
Rules for children can vary; check the current guidance shown in the Nusuk app when adding family members to a booking.
