MAKKHA: The General Authority for the Maintenance of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque in Saudi Arabia has announced a range of volunteer work opportunities for the 2026 Hajj season this year.

According to a report by the Saudi Press Agency, the aim of this initiative is to provide opportunities for those who want to be part of spiritual and social services by participating in various services during the Hajj.
