Egyptian travelers can't apply directly through the Nusuk platform. Instead, the Umrah visa must be obtained through a licensed travel and tourism agency accredited by Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, which handles the full booking — flights, Nusuk-linked hotels, and approved ground transport — as one package. Approval typically takes three to seven business days.

Madinah is home to around 4.75 million palm trees producing nearly 70 varieties of dates, the most famous being Ajwa, widely considered its finest variety, alongside other varieties like Safawi, Barni, Khalas, and Sukkari. Dates are one of the most popular gifts visitors pick up before leaving the city.
