Before visiting Jannatul Baqi, be mindful of the dress code, as the site is sacred. It’s important to wear modest clothing, with men covering their arms and legs and women wearing abayas or loose-fitting attire and a headscarf. Visitors should maintain a respectful and quiet demeanor as they walk through the cemetery. Photography is generally not permitted, and visitors are asked to avoid creating any disturbances. There are no facilities for eating or drinking within the cemetery, so be sure to take care of your needs before your visit.

Getting to Jannatul Baqi from the Prophet’s Mosque is easy, as it is located right next door. If you're staying in a hotel near Masjid al-Nabawi, the cemetery is just a short walk away. There are also taxis and private cars available for those who prefer a quicker or more comfortable journey. However, since the site is so close, walking is often the most convenient option. If you are part of a guided tour of Madinah, Jannatul Baqi is typically included in the itinerary, making it even easier for tourists to visit.

The best time to visit Jannatul Baqi is early in the morning or after the evening prayers, when the site is less crowded and the weather is cooler. These times allow for a more peaceful and reflective visit. Since the cemetery is open at all times, you can visit at your convenience, though it can get crowded during weekends or religious holidays. Visiting after Isha prayer is often ideal for those seeking a quieter atmosphere. Keep in mind that Fridays and religious events, such as the 12th of Rabi' al-Awwal, might see larger crowds.

Jannatul Baqi can easily be included in a day trip while exploring Madinah’s other historical and religious sites. After visiting the Prophet’s Mosque, where you can offer your prayers, head over to Jannatul Baqi to pay respects to the many notable figures buried there. For those interested in further historical exploration, the nearby Uhud Mountain and Masjid Quba are great spots to visit next. Many tours of Madinah include Jannatul Baqi as part of their religious pilgrimage, so you can combine it with a visit to the Qiblatayn Mosque or the Battle of Uhud site for a deeper understanding of Islamic history.
