Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has opened bookings for this year’s Hajj packages for citizens and residents, available through the Nusuk app and its dedicated online portal.
In line with the Kingdom’s commitment to expanding access to the pilgrimage, priority will be given to first-time pilgrims, the Saudi Press Agency reported. The initiative aims to allow more Muslims to fulfil one of Islam’s five pillars in a spiritually inclusive and accessible environment.
Pilgrims must have completed the mandatory meningitis vaccination, with appointments available through the Sehhaty app. The Nusuk platform streamlines the booking process, offering multiple payment options and allowing pilgrims to purchase essential Hajj items, including ihram clothing and personal necessities. It also facilitates flight bookings within the Hajj packages.
Alkhobar resident Arif Anwar welcomed the announcement, saying, “It’s great news, I was waiting for it. Now I will make the booking via Nusuk for me and my family.”
Similarly, Abdulrahman Qahtani from Jeddah expressed enthusiasm: “It was awaited. I am keen to perform Hajj this year, and by fulfilling the requirements mentioned by the ministry, I will now apply via Nusuk.”
