Take this guide with you
Before traveling from the USA
- Print all documents received from Amity Travel, which include the visa document, travel itinerary, and travel insurance. Please make sure to have all documents at hand (printed, not electronic) on the day of travel and during your Umrah trip.
- Make sure your smartphone is unlocked.
- Please ensure that your mobile device has a working version of WhatsApp, as it is our primary mode of communication. Amity is not responsible or liable for the maintenance and operation of your WhatsApp application and mobile device; it is your responsibility to keep them in working order.
- Download the Nusuk app (Apple App Store / Google Play) and register. It lets you book a time to enter the Rawdah in Madinah. Choose Arabic or English, register for your preferred time, and follow the instructions.
Note: Rawdah dates in Nusuk are limited, and the app only lets you book within a certain number of days. Check daily and book whenever a time is available during your stay in Madinah. If you used the Eatmarna app on a previous Umrah, Nusuk is the same app renamed — log in with the same credentials. Otherwise, create a new ID and password.
Make sure not to book during Mazarat times.
