RIYADH: Muslims from across the world land in Saudi Arabia each year to perform Umrah and Hajj as part of their religious duties.
While most of the Umrah pilgrims know how to perform religious obligations, some are still not that tech-savvy to obtain the permit and consequently face difficulties.
The government of Saudi Arabia has announced an official procedure to get the Umrah app through its Nusuk application which has been designed specifically for religious purposes and to assist pilgrims during their stay in the holy kingdom.
According to the official guide, one should go to the application and click ‘New User’ to create an account.
The next step is to select ‘Umrah’ on the app so that one can get their permit. Afterward, the pilgrim should identify individuals and then select the desired date on the app.
Consequently, the desired time should be selected and the instructions should be accepted through a single click.
The second last step is to press continue after which you will get the permit and would be allowed to perform Umrah simply by clicking a few buttons on the app.
The government of Saudi Arabia recently completed the Hajj operation successfully and received appreciation from across the world. This was the first time after the pandemic that the kingdom received over 2 million pilgrims for Hajj and no untoward incident was reported.
As the Hajj days are over, millions of pilgrims landed back in their hometowns while some of them would stay in the kingdom for a few more weeks. It bears mentioning that during the Hajj season, the government had blocked the issuance of Umrah permits but the Umrah season has now begun.
