Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has signed a partnership with Seera Group’s Almosafer to improve travel for pilgrims. The agreement focuses on enhancing Nusuk Hajj booking with a wider range of flight options and exploring initiatives that simplify journeys from around the world.
Announced at last week’s Hajj Conference and Exhibition 2025 in Jeddah, the agreement builds on Almosafer’s appointment the previous year as official flight partner for the ministry’s Direct Hajj Program through Nusuk Hajj, according to a company press release.
The program serves pilgrims from over 120 countries through Nusuk Hajj, the ministry’s exclusive official approved Hajj-services platform. More than 14,000 tickets were issued during the 1445 AH season under the earlier partnership.
Almosafer will offer a broad range of flights through its airline partner network, competitive fares and seamless ticket issuance to meet pilgrims’ needs and simplify arrival in Saudi Arabia.
The partnership also provides a foundation for exploring further platform enhancements through innovative technology.
Direct Hajj Program Executive Director Abdullah Jamal Jad Kareem said ensuring access to reliable service providers is a ministry priority. The partnership will expand competitively priced flight availability and Nusuk Hajj’s reach worldwide.
Almosafer Chief Executive Officer Muzzammil Ahussain described strengthening its official flight-partner role as an important milestone. He reaffirmed the company’s commitment to accessible flights matching pilgrims’ needs and budgets.
He said its digital solutions combine advanced technology and strong airline partnerships to offer a distinctive booking experience, with further cooperation planned to improve pilgrim travel.
The ministry continues improving services and processes with key partners. Nusuk Hajj aims to provide a transparent, efficient digital experience, enabling pilgrims to plan confidently.
