The Ministry has made these packages available for review and selection through its Nusuk electronic application, aiming to streamline the booking process for domestic pilgrims.
In addition to the package offerings, the Ministry has outlined key guidelines for prospective pilgrims.
Priority registration is granted to individuals who have not previously performed Hajj, with the registration process accessible via the Nusuk app or the official e-portal.
Applicants are advised to complete their health information accurately, add accompanying pilgrims as needed, and submit requests for exemption from the Mahram (male guardian) requirement if applicable.
The Ministry emphasizes the importance of early registration to secure desired packages and ensure compliance with all health and safety protocols.
Notably, children will not be permitted to accompany pilgrims during Hajj 2025, a measure aimed at safeguarding them from potential risks associated with severe overcrowding.
These initiatives are part of Saudi Arabia's broader efforts to enhance the Hajj experience for domestic pilgrims, ensuring a range of options that accommodate different needs while maintaining safety and comfort.
