Saudi Post | SPL is continuing its preparations for the 1446 AH Hajj season through a comprehensive two-month operational plan, commencing on 15 Dhul-Qi'dah and running through to 15 Muharram. The plan is designed to provide highly efficient logistical and geospatial capabilities to the Guests of Allah, reaffirming SPL’s role as a national operator and supporting the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 by enhancing the pilgrims’ experience and improving service quality in collaboration with relevant entities.
As part of these preparations, SPL will offer a wide range of postal and logistics services during the Hajj season. At the forefront is the “Hajj and Umrah Parcels” service, which enables pilgrims to conveniently ship their belongings from Makkah and Madinah to destinations across the globe. This service reduces the burden of carrying luggage and offers a more comfortable and seamless Hajj experience.
To strengthen field operations during the season, SPL has deployed five specially equipped SPL GO mobile units, designed to provide fast and flexible logistics solutions in crowded areas of Makkah and Madinah. These mobile units ensure immediate service delivery and meet the needs of both pilgrims and participating entities at the right time and place. This readiness is further supported by a comprehensive fleet, including 62 delivery vehicles, 16 motorcycles, and 44 electric scooters to facilitate staff mobility within the holy sites. SPL has also activated 57 service outlets located in key areas across Makkah, Madinah, and the holy sites, enhancing its ability to deliver services with high operational efficiency and full reliability throughout the season.
Among its specialized offerings, SPL highlights the “Official Mail” service, a key logistical enabler that ensures the secure and reliable transport of official documents between government entities. This service supports operational coordination during the Hajj season in Makkah, Madinah, and the sacred sites.
In support of the healthcare sector, and in cooperation with the Ministry of Health, SPL has allocated 35 refrigerated vehicles, 16 scooters, and 3 motorcycles for the transport of biological lab samples, blood units, and their derivatives. This initiative underscores SPL’s commitment to supporting the healthcare system during Hajj by ensuring the rapid and efficient delivery of sensitive medical materials — helping to safeguard the health and safety of pilgrims.
SPL’s participation in the Hajj season reflects its commitment to the realization of Saudi Vision 2030, through the development of advanced initiatives tailored to the needs of the Hajj and Umrah sector. It also underscores SPL’s continued efforts to enhance the pilgrims’ experience by delivering integrated, high-quality logistics services, while reinforcing the postal service’s role in supporting this vital sector through active partnerships with both public and private sectors.
