Saudi Arabia has announced the start of the new Umrah season for citizens and residents of GCC countries, including the Kingdom.
Citizens and residents of GCC countries are now able to apply for a pilgrimage permit via the “Nusuk” or “Tawakkalna” applications after the successful end of this year’s Hajj season, the country’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said on Tuesday.
The Nusuk application can be used to obtain the necessary permits to perform Umrah and visit the Holy Rawdah in the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, while Tawakkalna ensures that the applicant meets the necessary health requirements.
The ministry recently announced that pilgrims from outside of the GCC area will be able to perform pilgrimage from the start of the new Islamic year which will fall on either July 18 or 19 – next Tuesday or Wednesday.
