JEDDAH: The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah announced the opening of registration for prospective 2024 pilgrims who are Saudi citizens or residents in the Kingdom. Those wishing to perform Hajj from the Kingdom can register via the ministry’s website localhaj.haj.gov.sa or through the Nusuk application on smartphones and tablets from 1 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 11. There they can review all Hajj package options, with booking priority given to those who have yet to perform Hajj previously. To make it easier for registrants, the ministry has made it possible to either pay the total amount upon registration or pay partially according to the terms and conditions stated. The ministry urged registrants to ensure accuracy of information when registering and selecting packages, highlighting the importance of not using the same mobile number for more than one application. Inquiries can be sent to the ministry via email at [email protected] , by calling the Pilgrims Care Center at 1966 from within the Kingdom or calling the unified number — 920002814 — from inside and outside the Kingdom, or through the beneficiary care account on X: @MOHU_Care.
