On Monday 9th January 2023, Dr Tawfiq Al-Rabiah, the Saudi Minister for Hajj & Umrah during the opening of the Conference and Exhibition for Hajj & Umrah Services held in Jeddah, announced the good news to all Muslims that Hajj pilgrim numbers would return back to pre-pandemic levels and without age restrictions.
On Friday 27th January 2023, the Saudi Ministry of Hajj & Umrah opened up the official platform for booking and managing the Hajj bookings for pilgrims from Europe (including UK), North and South America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand via its official website: https://hajj.nusuk.sa/ .
The initial launch is for prospective pilgrims to register their interests for Hajj 2023. Registering on the platform does not mean that you will be accepted for Hajj. Packages and payment options will be available later. Please subscribe to our newsletter to be kept up to date on developments.
Nusuk Hajj is the only platform formally approved by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah to provide Hajj services for the year 1444-2023. It has been established to provide a unique spiritual Hajj journey. Do not make any payments to anyone claiming they are authorised to sell a Hajj package – they are not.
