Authorities in Makkah have introduced free luggage storage services for Umrah pilgrims, providing added convenience during their spiritual journey. 

According to the General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque, these storage facilities are located to the east of the Grand Mosque near the Makkah Library and to the west near Gate 64. 

Pilgrims can access the service by presenting their permits via the Nusuk app, as reported by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

The facilities allow storage of bags weighing up to 7kg for a maximum of four hours, while loose items, valuables, prohibited goods, food, and medicine are not accepted. Pilgrims must provide a claim ticket to retrieve their belongings. 

The authority has announced plans to expand this service to all areas surrounding the Grand Mosque to further enhance visitor convenience.
