Ministry launches ‘Hajj Journey’ documentary series in Indonesia

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah recently launched in Jakarta the “Hajj Journey” documentary series, which tells the story of eight Indonesian pilgrims and highlights the facilities provided for them by the Kingdom.
The series follows the pilgrims’ journey, from leaving their homeland, their welcome in Saudi Arabia, performing the rituals, and finally returning home.

The launching ceremony in Jakarta was attended by the Saudi Ambassador to Indonesia, Faisal Al-Amoudi; Undersecretary of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Indonesia, Prof. Halman Latif; and Director General of the General Management of Corporate Communication, A. Turki Al-Khalaf, who is also the director general of the General Awareness Department.

Al-Amoudi said that the series highlights efforts made by the Kingdom to facilitate pilgrims’ journeys.

Indonesia's Minister of Religious Affairs, Yaqut Khalil Oumas, expressed his gratitude to the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah for producing the documentary.

Al-Khalaf said that 60 filming stations used in the series highlighted farewells from Indonesia, reception procedures inside the Kingdom, the performance of Hajj and Umrah rituals, the visit to the Two Holy Mosques, and the return home.

“This media production provides the Islamic nation, in general, and Muslims in Indonesia, in particular, with a vivid memory of the greatest journey a Muslim can go on. This 10-episodes series took more than 240 hours of filming for 120 working days. Episodes were filmed in Indonesian to be understood by Indonesians, and were later translated into Arabic and English,” he said.

The series will be shown on the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah’s YouTube channel, and will be broadcasted on several Indonesian and Saudi channels.
