As the sacred journey to Saudi Arabia for Umrah gains momentum, industry experts in the UAE are advising residents to register on the Nusuk app, a crucial tool for facilitating appointments for Umrah rituals and prayers at the Riyazul Jannah.
Saudi Arabia’s immigration and e-visa portal highlight the essential role of the Nusuk app in obtaining an Umrah permit. The app enables users to request an Umrah permit, schedule appointments for Umrah rituals, and access crucial information about both Umrah and Hajj pilgrimages.
According to experts, the Nusuk app allows pilgrims to schedule appointments for rituals, particularly for making tawaf at the holy site of Makkah. While guards at the site may not consistently check for appointments, it is recommended to secure appointments on the app. In crowded situations, security guards may request proof of appointments, ensuring a smoother experience for pilgrims.

Despite the flexibility at the site, experts strongly advise securing appointments through the Nusuk app before departing from the UAE to guarantee a seamless pilgrimage experience upon arrival in Saudi Arabia.
Emphasizing the importance of appointments, experts highlight that pilgrims aiming to engage in prayers at Riyazul Jannah must obtain appointments to enhance the overall ease of the pilgrimage process.
Regarding transportation options, experts suggest that the Harmain Express is the most convenient way to travel between Makkah, Madina, and Jeddah, with Jeddah serving as a central hub. Taking the Harmain Express significantly reduces travel time from six hours by road to just two hours.

When booking air tickets to Saudi Arabia, experts caution pilgrims to check for flights that allow passengers with Umrah visas only. Flights from Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi are available, but it’s crucial to be aware that some flights are dedicated to passengers with Umrah visas exclusively. Individuals holding multiple-entry visas for Saudi Arabia are not permitted on these specialized Umrah flights.
For a hassle-free pilgrimage experience, experts recommend consulting with travel agents to book flights specifically tailored for Umrah journeys. With these insights and proper preparations, UAE residents can embark on their sacred journey with confidence and convenience.
