Riyadh: During every Hajj season, Saudi Arabia continues presenting an advanced global model in crowd management and serving millions of pilgrims, relying on advanced technological infrastructure and a modern organizational vision that has made the Hajj journey safer, easier, and more seamless.
According to Saudi Press Agency, among the most prominent initiatives reflecting this qualitative transformation is the Nusuk Card, which provides pilgrims with a smooth spiritual journey within an integrated digital system that contributes to organizing the journey from arrival until the completion of rituals.
The card is one of the initiatives launched by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah and contains the pilgrim's basic information, accommodation and transportation details, and service company information. It also offers several services that contribute to managing crowd flows, guiding lost individuals, reporting missing pilgrims, and providing a variety of offers and discounts, in addition to official Hajj permits.
The card has contributed to facilitating the verification of pilgrims' legal status through smart systems and QR code technology, enhancing the speed of procedures within the holy sites, increasing the efficiency of crowd management, and helping organize grouping and transportation operations, as well as rapidly locating lost pilgrims or those in need of assistance.
The Kingdom has also enabled pilgrims to benefit from digital services linked to the card through the Nusuk application, which provides multiple services including interactive maps, organizational alerts, and guidance and health information.
