The directorate emphasized its commitment to facilitating entry procedures through online platforms and the utilization of advanced technical devices operated by qualified Saudis proficient in various languages spoken by pilgrims.

In a notable development, Saudi Minister of Hajj and Umrah, Dr. Tawfiq Al-Rabiah, inaugurated the Nusuk Wallet, the world’s first international digital wallet designed to serve Hajj and Umrah pilgrims. Developed in collaboration with the Saudi National Bank (SNB AlAhli), the digital wallet aims to enable pilgrims to manage their finances conveniently during their stay in the holy cities.

The Nusuk Wallet employs cutting-edge technologies and encryption techniques to ensure the highest standards of security for users’ financial transactions.

Ahmed Al-Maiman, the Director of Digital Experience at the ministry, highlighted the achievement of several milestones at both local and international levels with the launch of the digital wallet.     (vitalnewsngr.com)
