Makkah: As Saudi Arabia prepares to welcome around 1.5 million pilgrims from around the world for the annual Hajj season, the authorities are putting all necessary facilities in place to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for the faithful.

Convenient Lulu Stores Near Holy Sites, Easy Access to Essentials:

To support and enhance the pilgrimage experience, Lulu Group has opened 10 dedicated stores across key pilgrimage locations. These convenient stores are now operational in the key pilgrimage zones of Mina, Muzdalifah, and Arafat, ensuring that essential items are easily accessible to pilgrims.

This initiative is part of the Kidana project, which is supervised by the Royal Commission for Makkah City and the Holy Sites. The project focuses on improving services and infrastructure in the holy cities during the Hajj period.

“Our new stores are designed to meet the needs of pilgrims by offering globally sourced, high-quality products and services to pilgrims arriving from around the world. This initiative also reflects our commitment to supporting Saudi Vision 2030 by enhancing pilgrim services” said Yusuffali M.A., Chairman of Lulu Group.

Lulu remains one of the first and major retailers to serve pilgrims within these sacred sites. Building on its experience from last year, when it successfully operated 4 stores near the Holy Sites, the group has expanded its presence to 10 locations and plans to expand further this season to serve a larger number of worshippers.
