The official schedule, commencing with pilgrims entering dormitories on April 21, 2026, marks the beginning of a significant undertaking that involves extensive preparation and a considerable duration.

The total duration for Indonesian pilgrims, spanning approximately 30 to 40 days, encompasses travel to and from the holy land, as well as a substantial stay of nearly 40 days in Saudi Arabia.
