New Feature Makes Offline Use of Nusuk App Possible for Hajj, Umrah Pilgrims

IQNA – A new feature enabling full access to the Nusuk app without consuming internet data has been introduced for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims.

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has launched it in cooperation with telecom providers stc, Mobily, and Zain.

The initiative aims to ease the journey of pilgrims and enhance their digital experience during Hajj and Umrah.

This step allows owners of local SIM cards to use the Nusuk app and all its services without requiring an active data plan or internet connection, explained ministry spokesperson Ghassan Al-Nuwaimi.

Pilgrims can use services for permits, booking Haramain High-Speed Train tickets, navigating maps, using the artificial intelligence feature, and submitting reports and inquiries.

Nusuk platform CEO Ahmed Al-Maiman said the new feature is expected to improve crowd management, provide instant access to essential information and services, reduce the number of lost individuals, and speed up verification of permits upon entry.
