Authorities in Makkah have launched complimentary luggage storage services for Umrah pilgrims, enhancing the convenience of their spiritual experience.
As stated by the General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque, these storage locations are situated to the east of the Grand Mosque, adjacent to the Makkah Library, and to the west near Gate 64.
Pilgrims can utilize this service by presenting their permits through the Nusuk app, as reported by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
The facilities accommodate bags weighing up to 7kg for a duration of four hours, while loose items, valuables, prohibited items, food, and medication are not permitted. A claim ticket must be provided by pilgrims to retrieve their stored belongings.
The authority has also revealed intentions to extend this service to all areas surrounding the Grand Mosque to further improve visitor convenience.
