r/Madinah

Assalamu Alikum my dear brothers and sisters,

I hope you are all doing well. For those of you living in Madinah, or really anywhere in Saudi, I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind helping me with:

1. How do you do it financially? How is the income there? Is it difficult to make a living? I imagine regardless of the difficulty, there is immense blessing in your wealth being in the blessed land next to our beloved Prophet ﷺ .
2. How do I find a job there? I don't know where to look, or if some sources are reliable or not. Where can I find a good job in my field? I have a business background and make okay money, and I would like to maintain at the very least my current standard of living. However, I am okay with just a little bit of a reduction if it means being in the land of RasulAllah ﷺ .
3. How do I go about Visas? I am from the USA. What visa do I go for, how do I go about it, and will I be able to bring my wife and kids? If I can bring them there, can my kids go to school there? (I don't have kids yet, just asking for future plans, إن شاء الله).
4. What're expenses like there? I'm curious how realistic is it for me to go to Makkah at least a few times a year, or if it will be too expensive.
5. I have so many more questions, but none more are coming to mind. It is Dhul-Hijjah, brothers and sisters, I kindly request, please make dua for me and my family as we are going through a very difficult time in our lives.

Hey everyone 🌷

I’m a 23 yrs old girl from Saudi Arabia looking to make genuine friends in Jeddah or Medina. I really enjoy meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds and connecting with open-minded, respectful, supportive, and positive people.

Assalamu Alikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

hi everyone, how do we send money from the USA to family performing Hajj? I wasn't sure where to post this, so I posted it in here (forgive me if it's the wrong place to post this). My family is currently at Makkah. I'm worried because they only speak Bangla, no english or Arabic. I looked up online and saw that moneygram has a location there and that they can pick it up from there but they only speak Bangla and won't be able to fill out forms or anything. Anybody know the process? Is it just as simple as showing their passports and they can pick it up? Kindly let me know.

Hey 👋

Looking to meet new people and make some genuine friendships — people to talk to, hang out with, grab coffee with.

If you’re also looking for new friends, or just want someone chill to talk to, feel free to message me a little about yourself.

Is there an outdoors climbing community in madinah? We have so many beautiful mountains but I never climbed outdoors and would love to join a community for support. Thanks
