Jeddah, November 13, 2026, SPA -- The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has completed the signing of Hajj arrangement agreements for the 1448 AH season with Hajj affairs offices as part of the sixth Hajj Conference and Exhibition in Jeddah, in preparation for the upcoming Hajj season.
The agreements were signed by Minister of Hajj and Umrah Tawfig Al-Rabiah, Vice Minister of Hajj and Umrah Dr. Abdulfattah Mashat, and heads of Hajj affairs offices from participating countries.
The agreements outline coordination mechanisms between the ministry and Hajj affairs offices, approved requirements and procedures for the season, and the responsibilities and obligations of the parties regarding services provided to pilgrims and arrangements for their arrival and departure.
The signing of the agreements follows the ministry-provided preparatory document sent to Hajj affairs offices at the end of the 1447 AH Hajj season to begin preparations for the upcoming season, which allows the offices to complete contracts and regulatory, operational, and service requirements early.
Preparations also included signing agreements on pilgrim dispatching preferences to organize the movement of pilgrims, and completing the documentation of contracts signed with airlines through the e-Path platform within the specified deadlines.
