Dubai: The Al Hosn app has made it easier for people going for Hajj from the UAE to have all their documents in one place.
On June 7, the official X account of the Al Hosn app posted that UAE citizens and residents can get their Hajj card on the app, which will make it a lot easier to show your documentation during the pilgrimage.
Saudi authorities have regularly raised awareness for the need for pilgrims to always have a Hajj permit when performing the pilgrimage. The Hajj card on the Al Hosn app contains several key details of the pilgrim’s file, including the Hajj permit number.
Here are all the details your Hajj card will provide:
- Your Emirates ID number
- Your Passport number
- Your Hajj permit number
- The vaccinations you have taken
