The authority noted that there are four stages in managing the influx of visitors to Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifa: verifying appointment bookings through the Nusuk and Tawakkalna applications, scanning the QR code through e-devices, directing visitors to waiting areas inside the Prophet’s Mosque, and then facilitating their entry into Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifa.

The authority, in cooperation with security and service agencies at the mosque, has worked to ease the process for visitors and worshippers to pray at Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifa and
visit the tombs of Prophet Muhammad and his two companions. These efforts align with the leadership’s aspirations to serve the visitors and worshippers at the Prophet’s Mosque.
