Hajj Expo 2023 Starting Today Will Discuss The Future of Hajj and Umrah

Starting today, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be hosting the Hajj Expo 2023. Taking place over the next four days, the conference and exhibition will explore opportunities to improve the experiences pilgrims have when visiting the Two Holy Mosques for Hajj and Umrah.  

Authorities from diverse backgrounds, such as innovators, researchers, decision-makers and entrepreneurs, will come together to discuss the future of Hajj and Umrah in 2023. With over 200 speakers and participants due to attend, discussions and talks will be centred around enhancing the quality of pilgrimages. 

Whilst the focus will be on the above matters, this will be a key moment to present proposals for future endeavours, such as tourism. With the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 in place, this year’s Hajj Expo will discuss rehabilitating popular landmarks and monuments so that the prospects of tourism are met. 

With 10 keynote sessions, 13 panels, 36 workshops and multiple Hajj talks, the Hajj Expo will be a unique event of collaborating for a cause that affects Muslims worldwide.
