An agreement has been finalized between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia regarding the arrangements for Hajj 2025.
According to the Saudi Ministry of Hajj, Federal Minister Chaudhry Salik and Saudi Minister of Hajj Dr. Tawfiq Al-Rabiah have signed the agreement.
Under this agreement, 179,210 Pakistani pilgrims will perform the sacred pilgrimage this year.
The agreement includes mutual understanding between both countries to provide better facilities for Pakistani pilgrims.
The Saudi Ministry of Hajj stated that a shorter Hajj program, lasting 20 to 25 days, will be introduced to make the pilgrimage easier and more peaceful.
Under this program, a special area will be allocated for Pakistani pilgrims in Mina, and the expenses will also be reduced.
As part of additional facilities, pilgrims will be given the option to stay in Madinah for 4 to 8 days. Each pilgrim will be provided with a special bag, which will have the Pakistani flag and a QR code for their identification.
According to the Saudi Ministry of Hajj, a special mobile app will also be introduced, where all information related to Hajj will be easily accessible for the pilgrims.
