Telling Bahrain's Hajj Story
TDT | Manama
While thousands of Bahraini pilgrims focused on worship and reflection during this year's Hajj, a small team worked behind the scenes to capture every moment.
Bahrain's official Hajj Media Committee produced 68 media items across video, audio, social, and broadcast platforms, showcasing not only the pilgrims' spiritual journey but also the Kingdom's coordination, hospitality, and commitment to its citizens abroad.
Unseen but essential
From live TV and radio interventions to news reports and social media coverage, the media team documented the efforts of the Bahraini Hajj Mission with precision and professionalism.
The team's work was widely seen as helping reflect Bahrain's honourable image during the pilgrimage season, with strong emphasis on the government's organisational and logistical support.
The committee credited the team's success to the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, noting their support in ensuring Bahrainis received the best services at every level, including media.
Support from senior leadership
Special thanks were extended to H.E. Dr. Ramzan bin Abdulla Al Nuaimi, Minister of Information, for his direct backing of the team's logistical and technical needs, and to H.E. Nawaf bin Mohammed Al Maawda, Minister of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Waqf, for ensuring the committee's integration into the broader Hajj mission structure.
Praise was also directed toward Shaikh Adnan bin Abdullah Al-Qattan, head of the Bahraini Hajj Mission, whose leadership fostered the team spirit that enabled smooth and respectful coverage throughout the rituals.
As the committee wrapped up its operations, it emphasised that future efforts would aim even higher, with plans already under way to expand and evolve the Kingdom's Hajj media strategy in the coming years.
