Category: Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia has issued over 190,000 Umrah visas to international pilgrims since the start of the new season on June 11, 2024, according to the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. This early surge highlights the Kingdom’s streamlined digital approach, particularly through the Nusuk app, which has become the central hub for managing Umrah services.

Strong Start to the Umrah Season

The issuance of Umrah permits began just one day after the official launch of the new season on June 10. The Ministry’s prompt facilitation underscores Saudi Arabia’s commitment to efficient and accessible pilgrimage services.

Nusuk App: One Platform for All Pilgrimage Needs

The Nusuk platform, a key part of Vision 2030’s digital transformation, allows pilgrims to obtain Umrah permits, book appointments, and access various services seamlessly. The app has been praised for improving convenience and reducing wait times for millions of users.

Enhanced Pilgrim Experience Post-Hajj

This spike in Umrah demand follows a successful Hajj season marked by logistical improvements, upgraded facilities, and the use of AI and robotics in crowd management. Officials say these enhancements have resulted in higher levels of comfort, safety, and overall satisfaction for pilgrims.

Global Confidence in Saudi Pilgrimage Services

According to the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, the early and high volume of Umrah visa applications demonstrates the world’s growing trust in Saudi Arabia’s ability to manage religious tourism effectively. The Kingdom’s leadership aims to serve millions of visitors to the Two Holy Mosques through innovation and hospitality.

Looking Ahead

With continued development in infrastructure and digital integration, Saudi Arabia plans to make the Umrah journey even more accessible and fulfilling for pilgrims worldwide. The successful launch of the season signals a strong year ahead for religious tourism in the Kingdom.
