Saudi Arabia Opens Hajj 2026 Package Preference Phase on Nusuk

The new step uses the official platform to protect applicants, giving providers early demand signals.

Overview

  • Eligible pilgrims in Direct Hajj Program countries can compare service packages by level, content, and cost, then shortlist up to five options ahead of the booking phase.
  • Nusuk offers tools that show package popularity, a digital wallet for instalment deposits, and a directory of approved service providers.
  • The ministry urges users to register or update profiles, verify personal data and documents, and include family members under one application to speed approvals.
  • Officials reaffirm Nusuk as the sole approved channel for these countries, requiring all deposits and bookings on the platform and warning against unauthorised providers.
  • The announcement applies only to Direct Hajj Program countries, with other nations continuing through their established approved channels.
