New Step for Indonesia and Saudi Arabia: Hajj Digitalization

Hajj and Umrah services for millions of Indonesian pilgrims are entering a modern era through digital system integration with the Saudi government. At the Saudi-Indonesian Umrah Co.Exchange forum, Indonesia’s Minister of Hajj emphasized the importance of pilgrim safety and comfort. The focus is not just on technological trends but on ensuring security from visa issuance to return. This initiative aims to eliminate bureaucratic and administrative barriers. The Nusuk Masar platform is used for booking hotels, transportation, and other services. Discussion also involves visa flexibility and the digital payment of penalties. This integration facilitates rapid administrative processes and tighter oversight, enabling pilgrims to focus on the spiritual aspect of their journey.
