Kazakhstan's DUMK sets 2026 Hajj dates, coordinates with airlines
Kazakhstan's Spiritual Administration of Muslims (DUMK) has announced the 2026 Hajj will occur from May 15 to June 5. The administration has finalized airline partnerships and begun coordinating with tour operators. This comes as preparations for the pilgrimage intensify.
Airline Partnerships
DUMK has selected Air Astana, SCAT, and Saudi Arabia's Flyadeal to transport pilgrims. These airlines were chosen through a competitive process to ensure efficient travel arrangements. The coordination with these carriers is part of a broader effort to streamline the pilgrimage experience for Kazakhstani Muslims.
Tour Operator Coordination
DUMK is working closely with local tour operators to form travel groups for the Hajj. This collaboration aims to provide comprehensive packages that include flights, accommodation, and guided tours. The initiative is expected to facilitate the participation of thousands of Kazakhstani pilgrims in the 2026 Hajj.
What's Next
DUMK will continue to refine logistics as the Hajj dates approach. It remains uncertain how geopolitical factors might affect travel plans.
