Doha, May 29 (QNA) - The Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs received the Nusuk cards for Qatari pilgrims for this hajj season during a meeting with a visiting Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah delegation on Thursday.

A Nusuk card is a digital identification issued for Hajj pilgrims from the serviced countries. It contains essential pilgrim information and serves as both identification and an entry permit to the holy sites during Hajj.آ 

An Awqaf statement said the two sides had thoroughly verified during the meeting the official lists of names of Qatari pilgrims to ensure data consistency.

Ibrahim Mohammed Al Naama, Awqaf's representative in the Qatari Hajj Mission, said the meeting was part of Qatar-Saudi Arabia coordination efforts to streamline a safe and well-organized spiritual trip for Qatari pilgrims, in line with the Saudi regulations.

Meanwhile, Hassan Badr, head of the Saudi delegation, said the Nusuk delivery in the pilgrim's country of origin before his arrival to the Kingdom further facilitates the movement of pilgrims, and enhances the quality of services provided.

Badr, who oversees the center welcoming Qatari pilgrims, added the identification is mandatory for all pilgrims for a smooth movement in the holy sites. (QNA)
