ISLAMABAD: Pakistan鈥檚 Religious Affairs Minister Sardar Muhammad Yousaf on Wednesday described the 2025 Hajj as 鈥渉istoric compared to previous years鈥� for Pakistani pilgrims, citing improved services, enhanced facilities and formal recognition from Saudi authorities for the country鈥檚 pilgrimage management.

Addressing a post-Hajj press conference in Makkah, the minister said Pakistan鈥檚 Hajj Mission had received an Excellence Award from the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, ranking first among the seven missions honored this year, in recognition of its services to over 115,000 Pakistani pilgrims.

鈥淭he 2025 Hajj was historic compared to previous years, and Pakistani pilgrims were provided exceptional services and facilities,鈥� Yousaf said. 鈥淭his award from the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah is a matter of pride for Pakistan.鈥�

Facilities at Arafat also included enhanced air-conditioning, shaded walkways and grassy areas.

Yousaf said pilgrims in the lowest payment category were offered services typically reserved for higher-tier packages.

He maintained the Hajj package for government-sponsored pilgrims remained more affordable than those offered in neighboring countries, while offering superior services.

In Madinah, all Pakistani pilgrims were housed in three- and five-star hotels near the Prophet鈥檚 Mosque and given the opportunity to visit Riyaz-ul-Jannah.

To improve coordination, Pakistan introduced a 鈥淣azim Scheme鈥� for the first time, assigning a group leader to every 188 pilgrims.

More than 400 medical professionals were also deployed to ensure health care services for pilgrims.

Yousaf appreciated the Pakistani pilgrims for their cooperation and adherence to Saudi guidelines during the pilgrimage.
