Authorities in Makkah announced free luggage storage for Umrah performers.

The Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque stated that storage facilities are available to the east of the Grand Mosque, near the Makkah Library, and to the west, near Gate 64.

To access the service, Umrah performers have to present their permits through the Nusuk app.

Umrah performers can store bags (not loose items) up to 7 kilograms for up to four hours. Prohibited items, food, and medicine are not allowed. A claim ticket is also required to retrieve the bags.

The authority also has a plan to expand the service to cover all areas around the Grand Mosque, the SPA reported.
