PPIH Prepares 177 Hajj Pilgrim Hotels with Sector-Based Numbering System

The Saudi Arabian Hajj Organising Committee (PPIH) for 2026 is implementing a numbering system for accommodations based on sectors to facilitate Indonesian regular Hajj pilgrims in identifying their hotel locations during their stay in Makkah. Head of the Makkah Work Area (Daker) for PPIH Saudi Arabia, Ihsan Faisal, explained that the easiest way for pilgrims and staff who struggle to remember hotel names is to recall their numbers. This numbering system is specifically designed to integrate directly with the division of 10 accommodation sectors in Makkah. “The first digit indicates the sector, followed by the second digit and onwards representing the hotel’s sequence,” said Ihsan in Makkah on Saturday (25/4/2026). He gave an example: if a Hajj pilgrim is assigned hotel number 132, it means the hotel is in sector 1, sequence 32. Similarly, if the hotel number is 222, the accommodation is in sector 2, sequence 22. In total, PPIH Saudi Arabia has prepared 177 hotels to accommodate pilgrims based on embarkation points. These hundreds of hotels are distributed across five areas: Syisyah, Raudhah, Misfalah, Jarwal, and Aziziyah.
