The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, with the Pilgrim Experience Program, organised the third Umrah and Ziyarah Forum at the King Salman International Conference and Exhibition Centre in Madinah from 30 March to 1 April 2026, under the patronage of the Governor and with the Madinah Chamber as gold sponsor.
The forum brought together more than 160 speakers in 25 sessions and over 40 workshops that trained 800 participants, with an exhibition of more than 150 exhibitors on 11,000 square metres. It drew more than 50,000 registrants from 165 countries and saw over 5,000 agreements and memoranda signed, up 25 per cent on the previous edition, alongside the Historic Sites Forum where the King Abdulaziz Foundation presented the Historical Atlas of the Prophet's Biography.
