Saudi Arabia Launches New Umrah Season for 1447 Hijri Year
Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah officially launched the 1447 Hijri Umrah season on Tuesday 10 June, 2025, enabling global pilgrims to apply for entry visas. This milestone marks a streamlined process, prioritizing accessibility and efficiency for international travelers seeking spiritual journeys.
Starting Wednesday 11 June, foreign pilgrims can secure Umrah permits via the 'Nusuk' app, Saudi Arabia's unified digital platform. The app simplifies bookings, offers multilingual support, and delivers real-time updates, reflecting the nation's commitment to enhancing pilgrimage experiences through technology. Vision 2030: Bridging Tradition and Modernity
This season aligns with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, aiming to improve infrastructure and services for visitors to the Two Holy Mosques. Unlike the previous season, which paused permits in April 2025 ahead of Hajj, this year's rollout emphasizes uninterrupted accessibility and safety.
Authorities began technical and operational upgrades months in advance, collaborating across sectors to refine logistics. These efforts guarantee smoother entry processes, reduced wait times, and enhanced crowd management during peak pilgrimage periods.
Saudi Arabia continues expanding digital awareness campaigns in multiple languages while prioritizing health protocols and hospitality training. These measures ensure pilgrims receive world-class care, reinforcing the Kingdom's role as a global leader in religious tourism.
