Kenyaโs Hajj Mission has joined delegates from 78 countries in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for high-level discussions aimed at strengthening preparations, safety measures, and coordination ahead of the 2026 Hajj pilgrimage.
The talks, convened by Saudi Arabiaโs Minister for Hajj and Umrah Tawfig Al-Rabiah during the 50th Grand Hajj Symposium, brought together heads of Hajj affairs offices from across the Muslim world to review operational readiness for one of the worldโs largest religious gatherings.
Kenyaโs delegation was led by SUPKEM National Chairman Hassan Ole Naado and Secretary General Sheikh Abdullahi Salat, alongside Kenyaโs Consul General in Jeddah Ambassador Aden Muhamud Mohamed.
Speaking after the meeting, Hassan Ole Naado said the discussions focused on pilgrim safety, transportation logistics, accommodation arrangements, health preparedness, and crowd-management strategies ahead of the 1447AH/2026 Hajj season.
Saudi authorities urged participating countries to strictly adhere to approved transport and crowd-control plans to prevent congestion and ensure the safety of millions of worshippers expected in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
The Saudi government also advised pilgrims to remain inside designated camps in Arafat during peak daytime heat between 10am and 4pm as part of enhanced heat mitigation measures.
Kenyaโs Hajj Mission reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with Saudi authorities and stakeholders to guarantee a safe, organized, and spiritually fulfilling pilgrimage experience for Kenyan pilgrims travelling for Hajj next year.
