I found the following information on the website. Until this time, I did not know that Non-Muslims can visit Medina with special permission. I am not sure if the average MUslim in Pakistan knows about this.
The Madinah Marriott hotel is grandly situated on King Faisal bin Abdul Aziz Road opposite the new Imara House. This full-service property offers spacious accommodations and superior facilities in a central location approximately four hundred fifty meters southwest of the Alharim Mosque. The Holy (Prophet's) Mosque is one half mile from the hotel with complimentary transportation available. Madinah is one of the three holiest cities of the Muslim faith and non-Muslims are not allowed to stay overnight within the city. As the Madinah Marriott is located inside the city limits, the hotel must fully comply with all local laws and ordinances. Under certain special conditions, non-Muslims may obtain a special permit to visit Madinah during the day. For additional information regarding daytime visits, it would be best to contact appropriate city officials. There are a number of hotels within a fifteen minute drive of Madinah that can accommodate non-Muslim travelers visiting for the day.
