Saudi Arabia: In a major milestone for digital pilgrimage, Saudi Arabia’s Nusuk app, the official guide for pilgrims to the holy sites, has surpassed 51 million users.

Minister of Hajj and Umrah Tawfig Al-Rabiah announced that the Nusuk app has reached the milestone figure, Saudi Press Agency reported.

The announcement was made during his speech at the opening ceremony of the third Umrah and Ziyarah Forum, being held in Madinah over three days with wide local and international participation.

Organized by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in partnership with the Pilgrim Experience Program, the Umrah and Ziyarah Forum is being held at the King Salman International Convention Center from March 30 to April 1.

Nusuk, developed by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, provides over 130 digital services to help pilgrims plan their journey from issuing Umrah permits and booking visits to Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifah, to checking crowd density and accessing support, improving the overall experience and satisfaction of visitors.

It is a comprehensive digital ecosystem that allows users to arrange every aspect of their pilgrimage including hotel bookings, Haramain train tickets, and flights — all within a single, streamlined platform.
