Saudi Arabia and Oman sign Hajj arrangements agreement for 1448 AH

Saudi Arabia, represented by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, and Oman, represented by the Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs, signed an agreement today in Jeddah outlining Hajj arrangements for the 1448 AH season.

The agreement was signed by Saudi Minister of Hajj and Umrah Tawfiq Al-Rabiah and Omani Minister of Endowments and Religious Affairs Mohammed Al-Maamari.

The agreement aims to regulate the affairs of Omani pilgrims, including citizens and authorized residents, under the supervision of the Omani Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs and in accordance with the regulations and instructions of the relevant Saudi authorities.

The agreement covers organizational arrangements such as registering pilgrims' data through the Nusuk Masar platform, managing contracts for comprehensive service packages—including accommodation, transportation, catering, and services at the holy sites—as well as organizing the movement of pilgrims according to approved plans and schedules, and coordinating their arrival and departure procedures through Saudi airports.

This step is part of ongoing cooperation between the two countries to enhance the quality of services provided to Omani pilgrims and ensure they can perform Hajj with ease and peace of mind.

The Omani Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs is also participating in the Hajj Expo with a dedicated pavilion, after receiving the "Labaitem" Award for Excellence during the 1447 AH Hajj season, where it is showcasing its efforts in caring for pilgrims and the achievements of its service system.
