On the sidelines of the Hajj and Umrah Services Conference and Exhibition (Hajj Expo 2023), His Excellency the Minister of Hajj and Umrah signed a number of agreements with countries upon receiving their delegations. These agreements come in the frame of the developmental procedures offered by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Hajj and Umrah pilgrims.
His Excellency signed an agreement with the delegation (Republic of Ghana) for the arrangements for the Hajj season 1444 AH. The agreement includes the allocated quota, ports and means of arrival and departure, as well as organizational instructions that enhance the safety and comfort of pilgrims from the moment of preparation for the journey of a lifetime until leaving the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Hajj Expo 2023 is the largest gathering and event related to Hajj and Umrah, as it brought together more than 57 countries, more than 70 speakers and experts, with the participation of 200 companies specialized in the Hajj and Umrah sector, and the attendance of more than 60,000 visitors to the exhibition.
This large gathering was a space for exchanging visions, ideas, innovations and experiences, and it is an opportunity for countries to be present to sign their agreements and arrange the affairs of their citizens in advance of the Hajj and Umrah seasons, and this is reflected in the comfort of pilgrims and the facilitation of their affairs.
It is worth noting that the conference, during four days in forty workshops, in addition to nine main sessions, discussed several topics that contribute to developing the experience of pilgrims, employing digital solutions, and working to build an integrated and sustainable system to develop and enhance the services provided, and achieve the goals of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
All these efforts come within the framework of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s endeavor to provide distinguished services to the pilgrims, and work to enrich their experience at all levels of logistics, security, technology, as well as cultural and knowledge, through the Program of pilgrims and the concerted efforts of all government sectors, the private sector, entrepreneurs and partners, from around the world.
