yes you can visit medina for ziyarah and can do umrah too. hurry up and perform your umrah as hajj pilgrims started arriving mecca and medina and it will get more difficult to perform umrah near hajj days.

If you are on visit considering Hajj season the police at check point (just incase they check - theyget more vigilent in Hajj season) might refuse as you're on visit visa. often visit visas issues during this season says not valid for Hajj/Umrah. Does your visa say so?

Well I think going for Umra now wont be recommended due to checking and no accommodation (all hotels reserved for Hajj pilgrims)
However you can plan for Madina, 1 day visit will be feasible in these days as its very likely that you wont find any accommodation till Hajj concludes.

Thanks all for the replies

We postponed our Umrah trip because of security checking and also full accommodations at hotel in this season, we cant take risk and planned to do after Hajj season, InshahAllah
