RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Oct. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah announced today the launch of Nusuk (nusuk.sa), 
the official Saudi integrated digital platform that offers all pilgrims and 
visitors an easy-to-use planning gateway for their journeys to Makkah and 
Madinah. This e-platform aims to enhance the experience of Muslims visiting the 
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from all over the world and facilitate the arrival 
procedures for visitors to perform Umrah. Nusuk is an initiative of the Vision 
2030 Pilgrim Experience Program.

Nusuk provides information and a wide range of services for pilgrims and 
visitors, enabling them to perform the Rituals of Umrah with ease and comfort. 
It will also raise the quality of the services provided and enrich the 
religious and cultural experience of visitors, in order to achieve the desired 
goals of Saudi Vision 2030.

Nusuk is launched in cooperation and partnership with the Saudi Tourism 
Authority to provide the full range of services across the Visit Saudi 
ecosystem including facilitating visas, permits, booking processes, and 
procedures. Nusuk also offers various packages and programs to improve and 
enrich the experience of Muslims visiting Makkah and Madinah.

At a later stage, additional services will include interactive maps, a calendar 
of offers and activities, healthcare information and services, and a digital 
guide for all policy guidelines which is provided in several languages. Nusuk 
also offers opportunities for the private sector, enabling service providers to 
offer their services electronically to pilgrims and visitors. The Maqam 
platform will continue to support Umrah Trip Program planning until its 
services are transferred to Nusuk at a later stage.

His Excellency the Minister of Hajj and Umrah, Chairman of the Committee for 
the Pilgrim Experience Program, Dr. Tawfiq Al-Rabiah, explained that Nusuk is a 
continuation of efforts to improve the quality of the services provided to 
pilgrims by using the latest technology. Additionally, Nusuk, in conjunction 
with several government agencies, will work to facilitate ease of procedures 
and enable pilgrims and visitors to enjoy their spiritual journey with ease and 
comfort.

While His Excellency the Minister of Tourism, Chairman of the Board of 
Directors of the Saudi Tourism Authority, Ahmed Al Khateeb, addressed the 
importance of Nusuk under the umbrella of the Pilgrim Experience Program, and 
its role within the framework of cooperation and integration between the 
Authority and the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. This is a key step in achieving 
the objectives of Saudi's Vision 2030 by facilitating the process of Umrah and 
providing the best services to all Muslims.
