Mina, Saudi Arabia – In an unprecedented move for the upcoming 2025 Hajj pilgrimage, the National Hajj Commission, NAHCON, has secured exclusive accommodations for its VIP pilgrims in the prestigious Tent A+ area in Muna.
Zuhair Bin Abdul Hamid Sadayo, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Rawaf Mina Company, made the revelation via its platform Saturday.
This groundbreaking development marks a significant milestone in the comfort and convenience offered to Nigerian pilgrims during their sacred journey.
Sadayo explained that the newly constructed facility features 2,800 bed spaces, specifically designed to enhance the experience of VIP pilgrims. “This is the first time Nigerian pilgrims will be booked in the Tent A+ area,” he stated, emphasizing that the building has never been occupied before. “This exceptional location is not just a step up from the traditional Tent A; it represents a new standard for Hajj accommodations.”
A video preview of the Tent A+ VIP section reveals a modern and spacious Mina camp located just a stone’s throw away from the Jamarat buildings, where pilgrims perform critical rituals during the Hajj. The strategic location of the camp aims to provide easy access to pivotal sites, making the pilgrimage experience more streamlined and less stressful for congregants.

The decision to secure such high-quality accommodations reflects the Nigerian government’s commitment to enhancing the Hajj experience for its citizens. The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), which contracted Rawaf Mina Company as the service provider, is focused on ensuring that pilgrims enjoy a comfortable and memorable pilgrimage.
“This is more than just a place to stay; it’s about dignifying the spiritual journey of our pilgrims,” Sadayo added. As preparations for Hajj 2025 progress, the anticipation among Nigerian pilgrims continues to grow, with many expressing excitement about the enhanced accommodations and services being made available.
The new VIP facilities are expected to set a precedent for future pilgrimages, reinforcing Nigeria’s dedication to providing its citizens with an outstanding Hajj experience. With these developments, the journey to the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah for Nigerian pilgrims is set to be both unique and memorable.
As Hajj approaches, the community looks forward to a fulfilling pilgrimage season, bolstered by the improvements in accommodation and services dedicated to its pilgrims.
