The Hajj and Umrah Data Center has completed 100% migration to cloud computing.
The center supports more than 20 million pilgrims and Umrah performers annually through platforms like Nusuk.
The data center was established in 2002 and has operated for 24 years as the ministry’s digital backbone.

Minister of Hajj and Umrah Tawfiq Al-Rabiah opened the shift of the ministry’s Hajj and Umrah Data Center to a fully cloud-based system, completing its move to cloud computing.

Strengthening Digital Services for Pilgrims

The shift to cloud infrastructure builds the ministry’s technical readiness and supports uninterrupted operations. It also improves the digital services offered to pilgrims, supporting a smoother pilgrimage experience.

Al-Rabiah linked the achievement to the Kingdom’s continued backing of the Pilgrims Experience Program (PEP) and to the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which call for an advanced digital system to improve the quality of services for those performing Hajj and Umrah.

A 24-Year Foundation Moves to the Cloud

The Hajj and Umrah Data Center was set up in 2002 and has worked for 24 years as the technical base for the ministry’s digital services.

Completing the cloud transformation moves the center from traditional IT systems to a fully integrated cloud environment built on current global technology.

The change gives the ministry a more flexible and efficient technology base, supports uninterrupted service delivery, and prepares digital systems to handle Hajj and Umrah seasons while leaving room for future digital service growth.

Scale of the Data Center’s Operations

The Hajj and Umrah Data Center supports more than 20 million pilgrims and Umrah performers each year. Its platforms include the Electronic Hajj and Umrah Portal, the Nusuk application, and the Nusuk Card.

The center connects with more than 70 domestic and international entities, supports over 51 million users across the Nusuk ecosystem, and delivers more than 500 digital services.
