Saudi Post Launches 'Hajj Without Luggage' Service to Ease Pilgrims' Journey
In its ongoing efforts to enhance the pilgrimage experience, Saudi Post (SPL) has introduced the 'Hajj Without Luggage' service. This innovative solution is designed to ease the physical burden on pilgrims, enabling them to perform their rituals with greater comfort and convenience. The service offers end to end logistics support by transporting luggage from pilgrims' accommodations to their final destinations both inside and outside the Kingdom. This eliminates the need for pilgrims to carry their bags while moving between the holy sites. SPL outlined several benefits of the service, including the ability to send luggage from the nearest SPL branch in the pilgrim's city directly to the holy sites. After the Hajj season, luggage can also be collected from residences in the holy areas and delivered to pilgrims' home addresses using the National Address system. Shipments can be easily tracked through the SPL app or official website. As a key logistics provider during the Hajj season, SPL delivers professional, high-quality services tailored to the unique needs of the Hajj and Umrah sector. The initiative is part of SPL's broader commitment to improving the pilgrim experience through strategic partnerships with both public and private entities.
