All Indonesian Hajj pilgrims have left Mina, marking end of peak phase

Indonesia's Deputy Minister of Hajj and Umrah, Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak, has announced that the peak phase of the Hajj pilgrimage, encompassing Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina (Armuzna), has concluded. He confirmed that all Indonesian pilgrims have successfully departed from Mina, signifying the completion of this critical stage.

“

Today is the departure of the pilgrims performing nafar tsani. This is the last group, after the nafar awal pilgrims also departed yesterday. This means all our pilgrims who have completed the stoning of the jamarat, both nafar awal and nafar tsani, have finished.

Simanjuntak stated that the final contingent of pilgrims, those undertaking the 'nafar tsani' (staying in Mina for the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dzulhijjah), left Mina on Saturday, May 30, 2026. This followed the departure of the 'nafar awal' group, who completed their stay on the 11th and 12th of Dzulhijjah. All pilgrims have now finished the ritual stoning of the Jamarat.

During an on-site inspection in Mina, Simanjuntak observed the final movements of Indonesian pilgrims. He emphasized that by 3:00 PM Saudi Arabian Time on May 30, all Indonesian Hajj pilgrims had vacated their tents in Mina, leaving no one behind. The ministry had previously inspected the readiness of the Mina tent facilities and the routes to Jamarat to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for the pilgrims.

“

At 15:00 Saudi Arabian Time (WAS), all Indonesian Hajj pilgrims had left Mina. All Indonesian Hajj pilgrims' tents in Mina are also empty, and no pilgrims are left behind.

While acknowledging that the Armuzna phase proceeded well overall, with significant improvements in services and management, Simanjuntak noted that the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah would be evaluating feedback. Key areas for review include the quality of services in the Arafah and Mina tents, as well as the management of the stay in Muzdalifah under the 'murur' scheme. The ministry is committed to incorporating these observations for future Hajj organization.

“

Notes from various parties have been well received. Regarding services in the Mina tents, Arafah tents, as well as the management of the stay in Muzdalifah and murur, these will certainly be material for our evaluation.
