Top Apps to Download for Hajj, Umrah Trip

Here are a few apps you should get on your phone before traveling to Saudi Arabia on your Hajj or Umrah. Let me tell you, some things in Makkah and Madinah are so overwhelmingly different from 20 years ago. This is especially true regarding mobile apps and how people use them in both cities. It’s so much easier to live with those creatures around. They also save time and prevent you from getting ripped off or bothered. Here are six great apps you should get for your next Hajj or Umrah trip

1. Nusuk This one has to go first! It is the one we are all thinking about, after all. There is one application named Nusuk, which is a guide to planning your Umrah journey. It was initially designed for the convenience of the pilgrims when they wished to book a spot and offer supplication in their travels and pray in the Riyadhul Jannah area in Masjid Nabawi. Now, it is primarily used to book a spot and pray herein at the Riyadhul Jannah, in Masjid Nabawi, where prophetic traditions have referred to that area as one from the gardens of paradise. No wonder so many people would like to pray there. The usage of Nusuk is pretty simple. You can easily download it on your iPhone or Android device and can easily start using it with quick registration.
 NUSUK app is availabe both in iOS & Android.

2. HHR Train App This is one of the most important apps you will need in Makkah and Madinah. The HHR, which stands for Haramain High-Speed Railway, is a fast train that would whisk you from Makkah to Madinah and back again in just two hours. Trains are clean, new, and very comfortable, and you can see all over the beautiful Saudi desert. You can do the same from the Jeddah airport to Makkah.
