If you’re living in Oman and planning to go on the Hajj next year, here’s what you need to know. The Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs opens online registration for the 2026 season on September 23.
The ministry has stressed that registration alone doesn’t guarantee a place. Pilgrims will be selected automatically based on Oman’s quota from Saudi authorities, and successful applicants will be notified by text message.

Residents can sign up through the official portal www.hajj.om. Here are the key details for applicants:
- Deadline: October 8, 2025
- Eligibility: Citizens and residents of Oman 18+
- Required info: Civil number, ID card, or authenticated mobile number
The ministry emphasizes that submitting accurate information is essential. Any errors could lead to disqualification, and cancelled slots will be reassigned to the next eligible candidate.

Detailed schedule for pilgrims, including final deadlines for those traveling by air or land, will be shared soon.
For those in the UAE, Hajj registration is opening soon too — it’s worth checking the dates and deadlines so you don’t miss your chance.
