The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has launched the package preference phase on the Nusuk Hajj platform for this year’s Hajj season, targeting pilgrims from countries included in the Direct Hajj Program.
According to the Saudi Press Agency, the phase allows prospective pilgrims to review available service packages, compare options based on service level, content, and cost, and select up to five preferred packages ahead of the official booking stage.
The initiative is intended to help pilgrims make informed choices in advance while enabling service providers to gain early insights to prepare for the upcoming Hajj season.
SPA reported that the Nusuk Hajj platform offers several features to simplify the pilgrimage process, including package comparison tools, popularity indicators, installment-based deposits through a digital wallet, and access to an approved list of service providers.
The ministry urged eligible pilgrims to register or update their information on the platform, verify the accuracy of personal data and add details of accompanying family members performing Hajj to support verification procedures and speed up approvals.
The ministry emphasized that Nusuk Hajj is the only official platform for Hajj services for countries under the Direct Hajj Program and cautioned against dealing with unauthorized entities. It stated that all deposits and bookings must be completed exclusively through the platform to maintain procedural integrity and safeguard pilgrim rights.
The ministry clarified that the announcement applies only to Direct Hajj Program countries, while Hajj arrangements in other countries continue through their respective approved channels.
Further information on eligible countries is available at Nusuk.sa, while registration and data updates can be completed via Hajj.nusuk.sa.
