Qatari Hajj Mission Returns After Successful 2025 Pilgrimage Season

The Qatari Hajj Mission arrived back in Doha on Wednesday after completing a smooth and well-managed Hajj pilgrimage in Makkah.

Deputy Head of the Qatari Hajj Mission, Ali bin Sultan Al Misifri, confirmed the pilgrims’ safe return under the careful orchestration of the mission in Qatar. Most pilgrims had already arrived, while others continued returning today on Qatar Airways and Saudi Airlines flights.

He praised the outstanding success of this year’s season, calling it one of the most well-organized in recent memory. The mission worked 24/7 to ensure pilgrims received top-level services. Teams were assigned to areas like coordination, health, airport logistics, communications, and religious guidance.

In partnership with Makkah Hospitality Company, the Qatari Hajj Mission fully prepared camps in Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah. These camps followed strict quality standards, offering pilgrims a comfortable and safe environment throughout their journey.

Furthermore, the mission maintained direct coordination with the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in Saudi Arabia. This ensured a smooth process for pilgrim movements, especially during major rites such as the Day of Tarwiya and the stoning at Mina.

Al Misifri also praised the 17 accredited Qatari campaigns for their disciplined cooperation. They strictly followed movement plans set by the Qatari Hajj Mission, helping to create a calm, organized experience for all.

In addition, the mission now plans to evaluate the season. It will collect feedback from pilgrims and campaigns to identify areas of improvement. Preparations for the next season will begin soon to ensure even higher standards in 2026.

Al Misifri expressed deep appreciation for the Saudi government’s exceptional efforts in supporting the Hajj. Their coordination and commitment played a major role in this successful season.

In summary, the Qatari Hajj Mission ended the 2025 pilgrimage with great success. As the mission plans ahead, its focus now shifts toward refining future efforts, aiming to make the next Hajj even more remarkable.
