Saudi Arabia Launches New Nusuk Portal for Hajj
The ministry emphasized the importance of early registration, advising applicants to complete their health information, add accompanying pilgrims, and submit requests for exemption from the Mahram requirement if needed.
Once these steps are completed, applicants will be notified when Hajj package bookings become available.
The ministry also clarified that priority will be given to those who have not performed Hajj before.
