About NEWHAJ

NEWHAJ is a B2B platform for direct access to verified Hajj and Umrah service providers in Saudi Arabia.

We connect pilgrims and travel agencies worldwide — with a strong focus on Russia and the CIS — to hotels, transport companies and operators in Makkah and Madinah, verified on the ground.

Why trust us

NEWHAJ was built by someone who has lived and worked in Makkah for over 15 years — personally meeting pilgrims, inspecting hotel rooms one by one, and knowing the industry from the inside, not from an API feed.

We use public information as a starting point, but we back it with local verification, direct contacts and years of on-the-ground experience.

What we do

  • Directory — hotels, transport, Umrah operators, Muassasat and other pilgrimage service providers in Makkah and Madinah.
  • Verified Partner — a trust status for providers who have passed contact and service verification.
  • B2B connections — direct links between agencies, pilgrims and hotel/transport sales departments, no middlemen.

Our mission

The Hajj and Umrah industry is vast but fragmented: thousands of hotels, hundreds of transport companies, dozens of visa types — and no single trusted place to check who to work with.

We bring order to this market — not with thousands of faceless pages, but with real, verified connections between pilgrims and providers.
