Saudi Arabia launches all-in-one Hajj package for foreign pilgrims

Dubai: Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has unveiled a comprehensive all-in-one Hajj package for foreign pilgrims for the 2027 Hajj season. This new package consolidates essential services into a single electronic contract, accessible via the electronic path platform. The package covers pilgrims' journey from arrival to departure, including services at the holy sites, accommodation in Mecca and Medina, transportation, and catering.

Additionally, optional enrichment services will be available. The system enables foreign Hajj affairs offices and agencies to craft programs tailored to specific groups of pilgrims within a clear and flexible contractual framework. This launch marks part of the ministry's early preparations for the 1448 AH Hajj season, in line with Saudi Vision 2030 and the Pilgrim Experience Program.

The ministry has initiated preparatory work for the 1448 AH season, holding meetings with pilgrims’ affairs offices representing over 75 countries to discuss operational plans, regulations, and requirements. Saudi Arabia has been enhancing its digital Hajj infrastructure in recent years, with its electronic platforms now integrating contracting, operational activities, and visa procedures into a unified system for pilgrims and service providers.
