About the event
Hajj is the pilgrimage to Mecca required once in a lifetime of Muslims who are physically and financially able to undertake it. Its rites take pilgrims from the Grand Mosque to Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah during the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, with the Day of Arafah as the pilgrimage’s central day. The 2026 Hajj dates in this data run from 17 to 22 June; visas, permits and authorised packages must be arranged through Saudi Arabia’s official Hajj channels.
