About Nusuk
The Nusuk app offers a comprehensive range of services to streamline and enrich the spiritual journey of pilgrims visiting Saudi Arabia.
From issuing the mandatory prior Umrah permit to booking a slot to visit the Noble Rawdah, where Prophet Mohammed was buried, the app is a necessary tool for millions of Muslims who come to visit Makkah and Madinah.
Among its other key features is the ability to book train tickets on the Haramain High-Speed Railway, making travel between Makkah and Madinah faster and more convenient. Pilgrims can also use the app to book hotel accommodations, ensuring a smooth and stress-free stay near the holy sites.
In addition, the app allows users to order Zamzam water, a cherished part of the pilgrimage experience, directly to their location. Pilgrims can also shop for ihram clothing through the platform.
To complete the journey planning, the app provides an option to book flights, making it a one-stop solution for organising every step of the spiritual trip.
