The Ministry has launched the electronic path for domestic pilgrims to book and purchase Hajj packages, to match this electronic achievement with the qualitative leap achieved by the Ministry in various fields of services for pilgrims, including the expansion of technology in its various sectors and departments, and the introduction of the “Smart Hajj” card, which was awarded the Makkah Excellence Award in its twelfth session.

Among the technical projects employed by the Ministry to serve pilgrims is the “electronic bracelet” that shows the identity of the pilgrims including their official data, in addition to what is included in the Ministry’s website, where there is a unified call center, and links to all partners in the Hajj and Umrah system.

They have launched other programs dedicated to crowd management through an electronic system for preparing and monitoring the grouping dispatch plan, in addition to increasing the absorptive capacity, building camps equipped with various services, and the “electronic system for the Holy Sites” initiative, through a technical monitoring system to measure the readiness of the holy sites and its relevant facilities.

Meaning you are now safer when you will want to practice Islamic practices such as Hajj or even Umrah!
