Hajj 2025: Saudi Arabia Revolutionizes Pilgrimage with Cutting-Edge AI Services
One of the standout services is Manarah 2, an AI robot stationed in key locations. This robot provides real-time assistance to Hajj pilgrims in over 20 languages, ensuring effective communication and support.
Another significant service is the Nusuk card, which allows pilgrims to schedule visits to the sacred Rawdah area in the Prophet's Mosque. With this card, pilgrims can access their contact information and accommodation details, significantly reducing the number of lost individuals.
Saudi Arabia also offers the Makkah Bus Guidance Center, equipped with smart technology. This platform operates in conjunction with the Nusuk platform and the smart Arshidni system, ensuring safe and accurate transportation for pilgrims to their accommodations.
Additionally, the Tawakkalna mobile health application informs pilgrims about their health conditions and provides access to necessary medical services. This application enhances the overall health and safety of attendees during the pilgrimage. Innovative Applications for Enhanced Experience
Saudi Arabia will introduce the Smart Enrichment Assistant, an innovative application that informs visitors in various languages about valuable services. This includes prayer times, imam schedules, and locations of religious classes, enriching the spiritual experience for all pilgrims.
Furthermore, the Makkah Route Initiative streamlines travel procedures for Hajj pilgrims in their home countries. This initiative facilitates smooth and seamless processes at designated departure points, enhancing the overall travel experience.
Riyadh has also launched a baggage coding and sorting system to simplify the baggage delivery process at departure airports. This system ensures that baggage arrives directly at pilgrim accommodations in Makkah or Madinah.
Additionally, a mobile application for reading and learning the Quran enhances the spiritual engagement of pilgrims. According to Saudi authorities, more than 1.2 million pilgrims have already arrived to perform the Hajj pilgrimage, which begins this week.
With these advanced services, Saudi Arabia demonstrates its commitment to providing a safe, efficient, and spiritually enriching experience for all pilgrims during Hajj 2025.

Pakistan to continue receiving Hajj applications for remaining 3,500 official scheme seats
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will continue receiving Hajj applications for the remaining 3,500 seats under the government scheme, the religious affairs ministry said on Monday, hours after the expiry of a deadline. The country announced earlier this month it has been allocated a quota of 179,210 pilgrims, of which around 118,000 seats have been allocated under the government scheme and the rest to private tour operators. The religious affairs ministry said it has received 114,500 applications under the government scheme since Aug. 4 and will continue to accept applications for the remaining 3,500 seats. 'Aspiring applicants should submit their Hajj applications to the nearest bank as soon as possible,' the ministry said on Monday night. 'The receiving of applications will be stopped as soon as the remaining 3,500 seats are filled.' The South Asian country, which extended the deadline for receiving Hajj applications under the government scheme on Saturday, has designated 14 banks to receive Hajj applications. Intending pilgrims can also apply through the online Hajj portal of the ministry. Under the government scheme, pilgrims can choose between a long package (38-42 days) and a short package (20-25 days), with costs ranging between Rs1,150,000 and Rs1,250,000 ($4,050–4,236). Applicants are required to deposit a first installment of Rs500,000 [$1764] or Rs550,000 [$1941] depending on the package, while the remaining dues will be collected in November. Saudi Arabia had approved the same quota for Pakistan in 2025, though private tour operators last year struggled to utilize their share, saying they faced technical and financial delays, even as the government filled its quota of over 88,000 pilgrims.
