FedEx is presenting logistics and shipping solutions for companies serving the Hajj and Umrah sectors at the sixth Hajj Conference and Exhibition in Jeddah, held from November 8 to 11.
More than 1.7 million pilgrims performed Hajj in 2026, according to the General Authority for Statistics, while millions more visit Saudi Arabia each year for Umrah. The seasonal increase in demand creates added pressure on retailers, hospitality providers, healthcare companies and other businesses supplying pilgrims.
FedEx is showcasing international shipping and customs clearance services for tour operators, import and export solutions for retailers and souvenir suppliers, and regional road transport for hospitality and catering supplies.
The company is also highlighting temperature-controlled healthcare shipments and FedEx Surround, a monitoring and intervention service for sensitive deliveries.
Abdulrahman Al-Mubarak, Managing Director of Operations at FedEx Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, and Africa, said businesses in the sector need to plan shipments in advance to ensure goods arrive when and where they are needed.
FedEx completed its transition to a direct operating model in Saudi Arabia in 2025, taking over shipment pickup, delivery and customs clearance operations within the Kingdom.
