Wego partners with Saudi Ministry to launch digital Umrah booking platform

Wego, the leading travel app in the Middle East and North Africa, has launched a strategic partnership with the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah to introduce a fully integrated digital Umrah platform designed to streamline the pilgrimage journey for international travelers. This unified platform, set to launch in June 2026 ahead of the Umrah season, offers pilgrims an end-to-end booking solution covering flights, verified hotel accommodations, licensed ground transport, and facilitated Umrah visa requests through a single intuitive interface. By combining Wego's regional travel technology with the Kingdom's network of licensed service providers, the initiative supports Saudi Arabia's vision of delivering a seamless, digitally enabled pilgrimage experience while enhancing transparency and cost efficiency for global pilgrims. The platform includes three service tiers ranging from basic arrival support to premium packages with private transfers and curated experiences, creating new growth opportunities for Umrah service providers across Saudi Arabia.
