As part of preparations for the Hajj 2027 season, meetings are being held with relevant authorities and organizations to ensure suitable and comfortable conditions for pilgrims from Uzbekistan.

At the beginning of the meeting, both sides acknowledged that, thanks to the efforts of the leaders of the two countries, cooperation between Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia has reached a new level. In particular, they highlighted the significant improvements in the quality of services provided to Hajj and Umrah pilgrims.

During the negotiations, the parties held comprehensive discussions on ensuring high-quality services and creating favorable conditions for Uzbek pilgrims throughout the upcoming Hajj season, from their arrival to their departure. Particular attention was paid to providing appropriate services and facilities in the valleys of Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah, where the main Hajj rituals are performed, in accordance with high service standards.

For their part, representatives of the “Tawafa” establishment outlined specific tasks for the upcoming season, including the installation of comfortable tents at the holy sites, further improvement of transportation and food supplies, enhancement of utility services, and strict compliance with sanitary and hygiene requirements.

In particular, special attention will be given to allocating sufficient space for each pilgrim in these valleys, preparing the tents, and equipping them with sofa beds, refrigerators, and other essential amenities.

The meeting also emphasized the importance of providing pilgrims with sets of essential personal and household items, three hot meals a day, as well as a regular supply of tea and refreshing beverages.
