Why Madinah

Madinah is not just a place to visit for Umrah — it is the city the Prophet ﷺ chose to migrate to and make his home.

It is a city of unique virtues:

  • The City of the Prophet ﷺ
  • A city protected from Dajjāl
  • A place the Prophet ﷺ encouraged believers to live in
  • A city where he said whoever is able to die there, should do so — and he ﷺ will intercede for them for those who are able.

Imagine life in Madinah

Thousands of families, students, and professionals from the UK, US, and many other countries are already living this life in Madinah.

For many, Madinah is not a dream anymore — it is home.

Is It Possible to Move to Madinah?

Thousands of families, students, and professionals from the UK, US, and many other countries are already living this life in Madinah.

They are not all university students nor workers. Many are families and individuals who planned carefully and moved step by step.

We do not help with finding jobs in Madinah.

Most expats living in Madinah either run businesses, work online, or have sufficient funds to support themselves.

Residency and visa options are different for every country. What works for one person may not work for another.

For those who do not need a job, moving to Madinah is very possible — with the right planning and guidance.

The best way to understand what applies to your situation is to speak with us directly.

Affordable Living

Affordable Living in Madinah

One of the biggest surprises for newcomers is how affordable and comfortable life in Madinah can be — especially compared to the UK, US, and Europe.

Modern apartments. Family-friendly areas. Peaceful neighbourhoods.

Two Common Types of Apartments

Furnished Apartments (Short Stay)

  • Ideal for Umrah trips, holidays, and short stays
  • Fully furnished and ready to move in
  • Commonly used by visitors and first-time movers

Unfurnished Apartments (Long Stay)

  • Ideal for long-term living
  • Much cheaper than furnished options
  • Preferred by families and permanent residents

These are real homes people live in — not hotel rooms.

Born from Real Conversations — Built for Real People🗣️

For the past year, I've answered countless messages from people just like you — through WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram. Each message had a different name, but the same feeling:

People were scared of things that weren't actually that hard — they just didn't have the answers.✅

⚠️ "I want to move… but where do I even start?"

⚠️ "Is it even possible if I'm not accepted into the university?"

⚠️ "What if I mess up the visa, or can't afford it?"

Real Success Stories:

👳 Ayub from the US – Relocated his entire family to Madinah. His children are homeschooled and studying Qur’an and Arabic, while he continues working remotely in the US and visits regularly.

There are many families like him, most families have both parents here with them (which is best).

🎓 Mohammad, a student from the US – Came from Egypt to seek knowledge and now lives just a 10-minute walk from Masjid an-Nabawi seeking knowledge in prophet city.

He isn't the only one, especially since Egypt is coming unsafe for Students and Families.
