Saudi Arabia's Hajj 2025: AI and Apps Streamline Pilgrimage This year's Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia is witnessing a significant technological upgrade, with artificial intelligence (AI) and various mobile applications playing a crucial role in enhancing the experience for millions of pilgrims. The aim is to improve services and reduce wait times, making the pilgrimage more efficient and convenient. One key application is Nusuk, which guides pilgrims through the necessary procedures. 'Nusuk provides a seamless experience, from visa applications to accommodation bookings,' explains a spokesperson for the app's developers. Another helpful tool is the Haramain high-speed rail app, simplifying travel arrangements between Mecca and Medina. For emergencies, the Isعفني app offers immediate assistance. 'Isعفني is designed to help pilgrims in distress, providing quick access to emergency services,' states a representative from the Saudi Red Crescent. These technological improvements are part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, which aims to modernize the country's infrastructure and services. The successful integration of AI and mobile apps in this year's Hajj demonstrates Saudi Arabia's commitment to utilizing technology for the benefit of pilgrims and enhancing the overall experience.
