i can give you an idea but it will less safe than legal procedures.
he can invite you to do Omrah and they will give you a limited visa to do omrah after that he can write a litter to the princedom of madinah asking them to give him a permtting for you to expand your period and they will give you up to 4 monthes . after the 4 monthes its up to you if you want to leave or stay like the one million people in the country. trust me it will pass :)
best wishes

Travel Tips for Medina

Free your mind and be a real...

by fkompani

Free your mind and be a real pilgrim. Medina is a holy city and the most important activity there is praying. I loved to spend most of my time in MasjedalNabi praying, reading Holy Quran and also religious poetry. I really miss the peace and happiness that I used to feel there. Any moment I spent there was filled with joy. It seemed that I had left all my fears and anxiety back there in my hometown and was given happines instead.

qubba :the first mosque in Islam

by uglyscot

After the prophet Mohamed made the move from Mecca to Medina [the Hijra], he settled at the foot of mount Taleb. He built the mosque before entering the town of Medina.
It is one of the holy sites people visit while doing the umrah.
The present mosque is built on the site of the original mosque.

Jabal Ohod(Ohod mountain)

by marimar_72

Here the Muslims were defeted by the non believers of prophet Mohammad from Quraish tribe.
It a very close mountain,about 10 minutes drive from al Masjid Al nabawi.

I made sure that my kids visit this site,as my daughter had this in her history class,and it was like a field trip for her.

you pay fees at the entrance,not sure how much though.
you can also hire a guide that tells you historical facts about this battel.

The green Dome

by marimar_72

This green dome is what makes the prophet`s mosque diffirent from the one in Makkah.
try to get a room that over looks this view!
This picture was taken from a Hilton Hotel room.
You can see it on the right hand side.
the white domes on the left are the ones that moves automaticly when the morning sun shines!

The city of Prophet

by h4pp1

"Masjid an-Nabawi"

The Prophet's Mosque in Madinah is the second most revered place of worship for Muslims around the world.

The Prophet himself participated in the construction of this mosque, called it "My Mosque" and led prayers in it for years. He has also said that a prayer performed in the Prophet’s Mosque is better than a thousand prayers in any other place except Masjid al-Haram in Makkah. It was also reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) has also said: "The person who offers 40 prayers consecutively in my Mosque, without missing a prayer in between, will secure immunity from the fire of Hell and other torments and also from hypocrisy."

"Jannat al-Baqee"

The graveyard of Madinah, where a large number of mosleem are buried. This graveyard is close to the tomb of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him), right after the courtyard of Masjid-an-Nabawi
