As Ramadan 2025 draws near, UAE officials have asked pilgrims intending to perform Umrah in Saudi Arabia to get vaccinated early. Then, they will obtain travel permits, and register on official websites in advance to prevent last-minute problems.
The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has also highlighted the need for early registration through the Nusuk platform, with a seamless pilgrimage experience through controlled entry and crowd management measures. Pilgrims must also be vaccinated against COVID-19, meningitis, and flu, as part of Saudi Arabia’s health and safety measures.
Travel firms and religious tour operators in the UAE have seen a strong demand for Umrah packages, and many of them have been encouraging advance bookings for accommodation and transportation, particularly during the peak Ramadan days. Authorities also emphasize the need to carry essential documents, comply with visa rules, and adhere to the latest travel guidelines.
As millions of Muslims embark on this spiritually enriching pilgrimage, both UAE and Saudi authorities are making every effort to provide a safe, managed, and smooth pilgrimage experience for all Umrah performers.
