Hajj and Umrah Ministry issues step-by-step visit guide for pilgrims in 16 languages

## Comprehensive Guide for Pilgrims

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has introduced a detailed digital guide for Umrah pilgrims, available in 16 languages. This initiative aims to simplify the pilgrimage process for millions of Muslims visiting the Kingdom annually.

## Digital Transformation

The guide is part of a broader digital strategy to enhance services for pilgrims. It provides essential procedural and religious information, helping worshippers perform rituals at the Two Holy Mosques more easily.

## Interactive and Educational

Structured as an interactive educational resource, the guide follows the pilgrim's journey from pre-travel preparations to the completion of rituals. It includes visa and permit requirements, and instructions for practices like Ihram, Tawaf, and Sa’i.

## Practical Support

Beyond religious guidance, the guide offers logistical support with digital links to maps, videos, and transport details within the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah. It also includes behavioral guidelines to manage crowds and ensure order during peak times.

## Available Online

The guide, designed to bridge communication gaps and enhance the pilgrim experience, is accessible on the ministry's official website.
