As part of its continuous efforts to enhance the pilgrimage experience, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has officially launched the new “Nusuk Umrah” service, a unified digital platform designed to simplify the journey of international pilgrims.
The initiative represents a significant step toward streamlining visa issuance, travel bookings, accommodation arrangements, and transportation services, ensuring that every stage of the Umrah journey is efficient, transparent, and user-friendly.
Through this innovative service, international visitors can now apply for their Umrah visas online, select comprehensive travel packages, or book individual services such as hotels, flights, ground transportation, and guided tours.
This eliminates the need to rely on external agents and provides a direct, trustworthy channel for managing all aspects of their pilgrimage.
The introduction of “Nusuk Umrah” is closely aligned with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, which seeks to welcome millions of pilgrims and tourists annually while positioning the Kingdom as a global hub for both religious and cultural tourism.
The initiative not only streamlines logistical procedures but also focuses on improving service quality, elevating visitor satisfaction, and offering an enriched spiritual and cultural experience that reflects the significance of the Two Holy Mosques.
The new system is expected to generate substantial economic benefits by increasing visitor numbers and stimulating growth in key sectors such as hospitality, transportation, retail, and tourism services.
Moreover, it opens new opportunities for Saudi businesses and entrepreneurs to showcase their offerings on the platform, while also creating space for the empowerment of national talent to manage and deliver these services with professionalism and excellence.
A Holistic Pilgrimage Experience
Ultimately, the launch of “Nusuk Umrah” marks a turning point in the modernization of the Umrah experience.
It transforms the pilgrimage into a comprehensive journey that combines spirituality with smart services and logistical ease, reinforcing the Kingdom’s commitment to innovation, hospitality, and leadership in serving pilgrims from across the globe.
