Free luggage storage services have been made available to Umrah pilgrims by Makkah authorities, adding convenience to their spiritual pilgrimage. 

These storage facilities are situated east of the Grand Mosque, close to the Makkah Library, and west of the Grand Mosque, close to Gate 64, according to the General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque. 

According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), pilgrims can use the service by submitting their permits through the Nusuk app.

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.
