The sixth edition of the Hajj Conference and Exhibition opened in Jeddah, with around 520 organizations taking part and representatives from more than 150 countries. Saudi Arabia reaffirmed its commitment to continuing to improve services and make the pilgrims’ journey easier, while expanding its “Direct Hajj” program to include 133 countries. The Minister of Hajj and Umrah outlined seven changes to the system since 2019. These included allowing overseas Hajj missions to choose from 34 companies instead of just one, beginning preparations for the following season on 12 Dhu al-Hijjah, and advancing digital services, with more than 70 million users of the Nusuk app. Airport travel procedures now take 15 minutes, down from two hours, and pilgrim satisfaction reached 93 percent during the 1447 AH season. The conference aims to strengthen partnerships and enable early contracting ahead of coming seasons.
