An Introduction to Eatmarna App and its Working

On Sept. 27, 2020, an app “Eatmarna” was published on the play store and app store under the supervision of Abdulrahman Shams (Undersecretary of the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah).

Eatmarna is an application that is introduced to continue the worships, UMRAH, and visits in KSA with the spiritual and safe environment. It was introduced so Authorities can take care of all of the precautionary measurements in this chronic disease COVID-19.

The purpose of this app is to regulate the UMRAH and worships in the Holy Mosques (Grand Mosque, Prophet Sacred Chamber, Prophet Mosque) with the help of given permits in the app.

However, They make sure the permit passed are according to the available capacity planned by the Ministry of HAJJ and UMRAH healthily and safely.

Linked With Tawakkalna app:

Covid 19 is spreading all over the world, therefore to make sure every visitor that comes to the holy mosque, is Covid free, Ministry has linked the eatmarna app with the Tawakkalna app.

Although there is no chance that one will get a virus during Umrah,

Even if they get one, using Tawakkalna will help authorities arrange medical emergencies as soon as possible.
