Authorities in Makkah have launched free luggage storage services for Umrah pilgrims, offering added convenience during their spiritual journey.
The General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque announced that the storage facilities are situated east of the Grand Mosque near the Makkah Library and west near Gate 64.
Pilgrims can access these services by presenting their permits via the Nusuk app, as reported by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA). The facilities accept bags weighing up to 7kg for a maximum duration of four hours. However, loose items, valuables, prohibited goods, food, and medicine are not allowed. Pilgrims must provide a claim ticket to retrieve their belongings.
To further enhance convenience, the authority plans to expand the service to cover all areas surrounding the Grand Mosque.
