MAKKAH: Digital innovation is rapidly reshaping Saudi Arabia’s Hajj and Umrah services sector, and Saudi application Hudhud is another front-runner.

With the influx of Umrah pilgrims all year round, navigating Makkah’s complex web of alleys and traffic can be difficult for those unfamiliar with the city.

This is where Hudhud steps in to help and guide pilgrims and visitors to Makkah’s religious, historic and tourist sites through detailed digital maps and advanced navigation system.

Hudhud, which runs in multiple languages, draws on modern mapping technology to deliver accurate location data and plot the optimal route to the desired destination.
