The formal departure of Pakistani pilgrims for Hajj 2026 will begin on April 18, with all necessary arrangements completed to ensure a smooth and comfortable journey for the pilgrims.
According to details, the Ministry of Religious Affairs has announced that complete arrangements for accommodation, food, and transportation have been finalized in Saudi Arabia to facilitate the pilgrims during their stay.
The ministry stated that on the first day of the Hajj operation, 660 pilgrims will depart for Saudi Arabia through three different flights, while accommodation has already been allocated on a “first come, first served” basis for those arriving earlier.
Administrative teams have already become fully active ahead of the pilgrims’ arrival, and the advance team of Khuddam-ul-Hujjaj has reached Madinah to finalize reception arrangements and ensure proper facilitation upon arrival.
An important meeting was also held at the Directorate of Hajj in Madinah, attended by coordinators from Makkah and Madinah along with officials of the Hajj Medical Mission, where arrangements related to pilgrims’ health, accommodation, and meals were reviewed in detail.
The Ministry of Religious Affairs stated that the entire Hajj operation will be monitored through a digital system to ensure immediate resolution of any complaints, while arrangements are also being made to provide mobile SIM cards and the “Nusuk Card” to pilgrims upon arrival in Saudi Arabia.
