The Story
Before
Hajj and Umrah logistics were paper-and-phone — visa applications, hotel bookings, transport, and movement coordination happened across many disconnected channels.
Initiative
Nusuk consolidated the pilgrim journey into one digital app — visa, itinerary, accommodation, transport, and Holy Mosque entry permits.
Outcome
Nusuk has been downloaded over 12 million times, with content in 14 languages. Tawakkalna provides 1,300+ services across 19 languages for Hajj.
For citizens
Saudis performing Umrah, hosting international visitors, or working in the pilgrim sector all interact with one coordinated digital layer.
