ISTANBUL: Dr. Tawfiq Al-Rabiah, minister of Hajj and Umrah and chairman of the Program Committee for the Pilgrim Experience Program, witnessed the launch of the Nusuk website in Turkish in Istanbul on Tuesday, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Nusuk facilitates the procedures for Umrah pilgrims to enrich their travel and spiritual experiences in Makkah and Madinah.
The platform helps in issuing visas and booking service packages, slots for Umrah, praying in Al-Rawdah, and visiting monuments, among a host of other services, electronically and with ease.
It was implemented in cooperation and partnership with the Saudi Tourism Authority.
According to Al-Rabiah, the launch of Nusuk in Turkish will serve a large and important segment of Muslim pilgrims.
During his visit to Turkiye, Al-Rabiah also met with a number of Turkish government officials.
Nusuk offers 75 services to businesses and 45 for individuals. It will help more than 30 million people, in cooperation with more than 10,000 entities in the business sector and 25 government agencies.
Earlier, Ahmed Saleh Halabi, a Hajj and Umrah services adviser, said that Nusuk showed pilgrims what was available in Saudi Arabia and had done away with an old system where many pilgrims would arrive in Makkah and Madinah to perform their rituals, then leave without experiencing anything else.
Halabi said that Nusuk introduced pilgrims to monuments and facilities they can visit while in Saudi Arabia.
Ahmed Bajaifer, an investor in Umrah companies, said that the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah had made pilgrimages easy and well-regulated, and visitors could be certain of the quality of all the services provided through Nusuk.

He outlined a clear vision for the company’s legacy, aiming to set a new standard for hospitality management in the region. The goal, he said, is to be the go-to partner for developers and asset owners seeking to integrate hospitality elements into their projects.
Serhan confirmed that this vision is currently being brought to life through close collaboration with contractors and designers.
He emphasized that the process is a “moving journey,” where the designer, the brand, and the location converge to create a product that truly reflects the local narrative.
