Umrah from the UK 2024 news

According to the latest guidelines, pilgrims should perform Umrah only once in the season so that others too get the chance to perform the holy ritual. They should book their Umrah slots online through the Nusuk or Tawakkalna apps. Once booked, pilgrims must stick to the date and time of their appointment.

The authorities have confirmed that a ‘sufficient’ number of slots have been made available for the pilgrims, and dates have been arranged in coordination with the Ministry of Hajj and the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques.

In addition, as a security measure, foreign pilgrims were advised against carrying valuable items such as jewellery, gold bullion, precious stones, or cash exceeding USD 16,000 (SAR 60,000). It was also recommended that transactions be carried out only through authorized institutions to prevent financial scams.
