Nusuk card and wallet bring peace of mind to Hajj pilgrims
RIYADH: Two initiatives by Nusuk — the pilgrim card and wallet — are helping to improve the Hajj and Umrah experience for pilgrims.
Nusuk, the official booking platform authorized by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah for e-visa and planning, allows travelers to create pilgrimage itineraries for Makkah, Madinah, and beyond.
Through the pilgrim card — an identity card worn around the neck — Hajj workers are able to verify the identity of each pilgrim, preventing unauthorized people from entering the holy sites.
Zahra Aleid, a Saudi pilgrim, told Arab News: “It (Nusuk card) is a very important aspect of Hajj, especially with the crowds. It is very common for people to lose their family or the people they came with. So, with this card people or security guards can help find your family using the information on the card.”
Aleid’s experience of Hajj was a success, she arrived with a group of pilgrims from the Municipality of Qatif with Masar Batool, a travel service company.
