The Saudi Government’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has announced the launch of the Nusuk Umrah direct Umrah initiative, which allows those wishing to perform Umrah to apply directly through approved electronic platforms, without the need to go through external offices.
The website describes the platform as a one-stop shop overseen by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, offering Umrah visitors and visitors from target countries a variety of Umrah and Ziyarah packages provided by the Ministry's authorized service providers, ensuring an easy, seamless experience.
The website lists several key service providers to browse through, provides insight into the Umrah journey and the rites of Umrah, and offers information about Makkah and Madina, including details about the overall journey, the Kaaba and Masjid al-Haram, cultural and spiritual hubs in the area, and more.
Visitors can also browse through different Umrah packages, and the Nusuk Umrah initiative also allows visitors to customise their perfect Umrah journey.
Last but not least, the website also allows visitors to prepare themselves for the journey with the help of the guidelines, which include both health guidelines as well as a guide to the Kingdom for travellers.
