Guests of Allah, performing Umrah requires obtaining a permit before arriving at the Grand Mosque to avoid breaching regulations, the ministry said in post on X, formerly known as Twitter. Umrah permits can be obtained via Nusuk or Tawakkalna apps, according to the ministry.
Residents wishing to enter Makkah need to obtain a permit. Residents who do not have an entry permit will not be allowed to enter by security forces at Makkah's borders. Saudi residents and tourists are allowed visit Madinah but have to register on the Nusuk app to visit the Rawdah at the Prophet's Mosque.
