Mina, Saudi Arabia – In a strategic move to improve the welfare of Nigerian pilgrims during the 2025 Hajj, Saudi-based service provider IKRAM ELDAIF has rolled out upgraded facilities, including modernized tents and improved sanitation systems, across key Hajj sites such as Mina and Arafat.
The upgraded infrastructure is tailored to enhance comfort and safety for pilgrims, particularly those from Nigerian states under IKRAM ELDAIF’s service allocation. The newly furnished tents come with better insulation, enhanced cooling systems, and improved spacing arrangements to reduce overcrowding and the risk of heat exhaustion during the peak Hajj period.
Equally noteworthy are the enhanced sanitation services. The facilities now include additional mobile toilets, consistent water supply, and round-the-clock cleaning services, aligning with international hygiene standards and Saudi Arabia’s broader goal of providing a safe and dignified Hajj experience for all pilgrims.
Officials from several Nigerian state pilgrims’ welfare boards have commended the improvements, citing a significant boost in the comfort level of their pilgrims this year compared to previous editions.
“This year’s arrangements by IKRAM ELDAIF represent a remarkable shift in service quality,” one official noted. “From the tents to the hygiene systems, everything is geared toward ensuring pilgrims can focus on their spiritual journey without unnecessary discomfort.”
The upgrades are part of Saudi Arabia’s ongoing investments in modernizing Hajj infrastructure through partnerships with licensed service providers, in line with Vision 2030’s goal of transforming the pilgrimage experience through innovation and world-class service delivery.
