Riyadh: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Haj and Umrah ministry on Wednesday called on pilgrims around the world for an important update to benefit from the Nusuk application that has replaced the Eatmarna application.
On Monday, September 26, Haj and Umrah ministry launched the unified electronic platform Nusuk to be the new Saudi gateway to Makkah Al-Mukarramah, and Madinah Al-Munawwarah.
According to the Saudi Press Agency, Eatmarna application, since its launch, more than 21.5 million Umrah and Haj performers had registered, and it has issued 6.4 million permits to visit and pray at Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifah at the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah.
Changing the name to Nusuk coincides with the availability of the dates for performing the new Umrah for the month of Rabi’ al-Awwal of the current year 1444 AH, within easy and accessible procedures.
The new platform aims to facilitate the arrival of pilgrims from all over the world, facilitate the procedures for issuing visit and Umrah visas electronically, and enrich the religious and cultural experience of pilgrims by preparing religious and historical sites in the Kingdom to visit.
