What is the fast track?

An option in the Nusuk app that lets people near the Prophet's Mosque book Rawdah slots for the same day, including slots that were cancelled or newly released.

Requirements

  • Location (GPS) enabled and being near the Prophet's Mosque.
  • Slots starting roughly 10–120 minutes after your attempt are shown.
  • Usable once every 24 hours per person.

The two-hour rule

Booking chances begin two hours before a visiting window and continue during it; vacancies are usually released at minutes :00, :20, :30 and :40. Use the calculator below: enter your target window to get ordered attempt times with a countdown.

Steps

  1. Open Nusuk 3 minutes before the target time with GPS on.
  2. Choose "Al-Rawdah" then "Fast track" (or the option shown in the current version).
  3. Select the person → open slots → book immediately if one appears.
  4. If not: go back, re-select the person and reopen the slots page.

Option names and release times may change with app updates; the Nusuk app is the final reference.
