Jeddah will host the sixth Hajj Conference and Exhibition from 8 to 11 November 2026, under the patronage of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

This conference highlights Saudi Arabia’s commitment to serving pilgrims and developing the Hajj services ecosystem. It aims to enhance service quality and align with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
The event is crucial for preparations for the 1448 AH Hajj season, providing a platform to finalise contracts, discuss operational arrangements, and strengthen readiness for the season.
