What Is Nusuk? The Saudi Pilgrimage App Explained
By the Mina Tours team · 4 min read · Updated June 2026
Nusuk is Saudi Arabia's official pilgrimage platform. Depending on your visa, season and plans, you may use it to obtain permits and bookings during your trip. Here's a plain-English overview.
What Nusuk is for
Nusuk is used by pilgrims to help manage their visit — including Umrah permits where required, booking a slot to pray in the Rawdah (in Madinah), and other pilgrimage services. Requirements vary by season and visa type.
Setting it up
Download the official Nusuk app, create an account with your passport details, and follow the prompts to add your trip and request any permits you need. Book Rawdah slots as early as you can, as they are limited and in high demand.
