Relocating to Madinah?

Do it properly.

The honest truth
Most people plan their hijrah around a feeling.
We plan it around your life — your finances, your family, your timeline. Guidance from someone who made the mistakes so you don't have to.

Hassan — Founder, Al-Nomaad
Founder · Al-Nomaad
Hassan
British Muslim. Based in Madinah after years of real attempts across three countries. Al-Nomaad exists so your move takes a fraction of the time mine did.
Who You Are Working With
Solo — not an agency
One contact from first call to first day. No handoffs, no team.
Direct access, always
Every message and call handled by the same person you met first.
On the ground
Inspections done in person. Nothing handled remotely that needs to be local.
Real community
Warm introductions to Muslim families already settled in Madinah.
The Journey

Three cities.
Seven years.
One honest consultancy.

London, UK
2020 — Left everything behind

Intention without infrastructure. No financial plan, no support structure — just a feeling it was time.

Cairo, Egypt
2021 — Attempt one

The dream ran out before the money did. Back in months. Expensive lesson, no one to ask.

Hargeisa, Somaliland
2022 – 2023 — Closer, but not right

Better planning. Wrong destination. Two years learning the difference between moving toward an idea and building a life.

Madinah Al-Munawwarah
2025 — Home

This time it worked — because the move was planned, not felt. Al-Nomaad is the help I never had.

Present
Now — Still here. Helping others do the same.

Living in Madinah. Every client I work with saves years I lost finding the way alone.

Who You Are Working With

One point of contact. Every step handled directly.

Not an agency — a single person
Al-Nomaad is a solo consultancy built by a Muslim who made hijrah to Madinah, built a life there, and now helps others do the same. No handoffs. No team.
You speak directly with Al-Nomaad
Every consultation, every message, every negotiation — handled by the same person who meets you at the airport. From first call to first day.
On the ground — not from abroad
Property inspections done in person. Neighbourhoods walked and timed. Landlords negotiated with face to face. Nothing done remotely that needs to be done locally.
Real community from day one
Warm introductions to real Muslim families already settled in Madinah — not links to public groups. A network that actually holds.
Find Your Starting Point

Every hijrah starts
somewhere. Find yours.

Scroll to the stage that describes where you are right now — and see exactly what changes from there.

01
Stage One · Still Exploring

You feel the pull — but you still have more questions than answers.

Is Madinah actually right for your family? What does it genuinely cost to live there? Can your income travel? These aren't romantic questions — they're the ones that determine whether the move works or falls apart six months in. We answer them honestly, so you can decide with your eyes open.

Where we come in

A Discovery Call gives you straight answers on finances, lifestyle, and whether the timing is right for you — from someone based in Madinah with direct experience, not someone selling a dream from abroad.

02
Stage Two · Actively Planning

The decision is made. Now the gap between deciding and arriving needs to close.

Most hijrahs that fail don't fail at the decision — they fail in the gap. The wrong neighbourhood, the wrong property chosen remotely, the sequence done out of order. We close that gap on the ground, in person, before you arrive — so when you land, the hard work is already done.

Where we come in

The Madinah Roadmap maps your neighbourhood, scouts and inspects your property, negotiates your lease, and has everything in place before you board the flight. A Discovery Call scopes exactly what you need.

03
Stage Three · Ready to Move

You have a date. You need someone to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

This is the full picture: a furnished flat set up before you land, someone at arrivals, SIM and utilities working from day one, Iqama facilitation through a trusted specialist, and six months of ongoing support after you're in. You arrive into a life — not into chaos.

Where we come in

The Full Landing is the complete A-to-Z handover. Nothing is left to figure out alone. Start with a Discovery Call to map the full picture together.

Alhumdullilah, from the onset Hassan was willing to help out and go beyond what was agreed. Answered any questions clearly and truthfully — and where he didn’t know, he took the question, researched, and presented answers in a timely fashion. Would recommend him for anyone looking for Madinah services or just more information and clarity via his consulting service.

I took a consultation to get an idea about migrating to Saudi as a teacher and a single mum. I felt all over the place with my questions and doubts. Hassan was able to give me the entire picture in a clear and sincere manner. After the session I could jot down the pros and cons, the time frame that suits me, and the qualifications I need. I went from asking should I move right now to deciding I will get the required certification, save more, and then apply to schools in Madinah next year. Clarity brings peace — and that is what I got.

I truly benefited from our session. His information and explanations were very helpful, clear, and practical. I had to end the call due to an urgent situation at home, not because of time. In fact, he had already spent more than 30 minutes with me and was willing to continue the conversation and offer even more advice. He was optimistic, encouraging, and supportive. He motivated me and gave me confidence, especially when I was worried that things might be complicated or difficult. Instead of making it harder, he simplified everything and gave me clarity. May Allah bless him for his time and sincerity.

Brother Awad was incredibly informative and kindly allowed my session to run over so that every question I had could be answered in detail. I gained real insight into hijrah, the possible routes for a teacher, and what the journey can look like in practice. I was able to submit questions beforehand and then ask many more during the session. The service was exceptional value for money, offering a first-hand account from someone already living abroad and navigating the challenges that come with it. Thank you for all your help.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask.

Still have something specific? The Discovery Call is the fastest way to get a real answer.

01 Does the Discovery Call fee count toward a package?

Yes. If you go on to book any package or bundle priced over £150 — the Hijrah Compass, the Madinah Blueprint, the Full Landing, or either Property Bundle — your Discovery Call fee is credited in full. You pay for the call once, not twice.

02 Is this only for Madinah, or do you cover other cities?

Al-Nomaad is built specifically for Madinah — it is where the consultancy is based, and what makes on-ground services possible. Consultations can cover other cities for context, but property work and practical services are Madinah-specific.

03 I'm not sure which package is right for me.

Start with the Discovery Call. You will get an honest recommendation on which package — or individual service — fits your situation. If none of them are right yet, that will be said plainly. There is no pressure to commit to anything on the call.

04 What does the property inspection actually cover?

40+ checkpoints, photos included, written report delivered within 48 hours of the visit. The inspection covers structural condition, Haram proximity timed on foot, noise levels at different times of day, landlord assessment, and everything you need to make a confident decision from abroad.

05 I'm a sister planning to move. Is this set up for that?

Al-Nomaad works with sisters travelling with a mahram. Community connections include families and sisters already settled in Madinah. Safety is factored into every neighbourhood and property assessment — including building access, proximity to facilities, and neighbour profile.

06 Can I get Iqama help without taking Tier Three?

Iqama facilitation is included in Tier Three. The Iqama route can be discussed in any consultation — including the Discovery Call — so you understand the process and what it involves before committing to a package.
