Every year, the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony hires hundreds of Khuddam-ul-Hujjaj and Nazims. This gives government employees a chance to work with Pakistani pilgrims in Makkah and Madinah. Federal and provincial officers from BS-11 to BS-18 can apply, and selections are made according to the quota for each province and region. This project not only benefits the selected staff but also helps improve the welfare and services provided to pilgrims during Hajj.

This year, MoRA has announced over 780 vacancies for Khuddam-ul-Hujjaj / Nazims – Field & Support Staff (BS 11–16) and more than 100 vacancies for Khuddam-ul-Hujjaj / Nazims – Supervisory Staff (BS 17–18) to perform sacred duties during the Hajj pilgrimage.

Jobs at the Ministry of Religious Affairs are a great opportunity for government employees who want to work as Khuddam-ul-Hujjaj or Nazims during Hajj 2026. These jobs involve important tasks like managing accommodation, transportation, and food for Pakistani pilgrims in Saudi Arabia. Both new and previous staff can apply, and positions are available for supervisors as well as field or support workers.
