Kidana Hajj jobs for the 1448 AH (2027) season are open: Kidana Development Company, which develops the holy sites in Makkah, has posted a seasonal hiring listing on its own careers website, and that site is the only place to apply. The listing is for temporary seasonal staff based in Makkah and asks for at least a high school certificate. No deadline is given, so earlier is better.
What has Kidana announced?
The Islamic Information reported on 9 November that Kidana had started seasonal recruitment covering administrative, engineering, technical, field and supervisory work. We then opened Kidana's careers site and found the listing itself. It is written in Arabic, is dated 5 November 2026 and is titled as seasonal jobs for Hajj 1448 AH.

Each seasonal employee is assigned to one Kidana project for the Hajj period. Duties on the listing include general support for that project, helping to carry out its plans and activities, following up so tasks finish on time, administrative support for the teams, and any extra tasks given by the project manager or supervisor.
Who can apply?
The official listing sets these conditions:
- Saudi nationality (male or female)
- Secondary school, diploma or higher study in a technical, engineering, financial or administrative field
- Aged 18 or over
- Fully available for the whole Hajj season
- Earlier work on Hajj projects, or in a similar setting, is preferred but not required
An honest note on nationality: the news report said Saudis and non-Saudis could both apply. The listing on Kidana's site, when we read it on 11 November, names Saudi nationality as a condition. The official page is what counts. If you are an expatriate, read the conditions there yourself before spending time on an application, and do not trust anyone who says they can get around them.
Kidana also asks for good spoken and written communication, teamwork and calm under pressure.
How to apply — step by step
- Go to careers.kidana.com.sa, Kidana's official careers site. Use the language switch at the top for English menus; the job text stays in Arabic.
- Open the jobs list and select the listing for seasonal jobs for Hajj 1448 AH (الوظائف الموسمية لحج 1448هـ).
- Read the conditions and check that you meet each one.
- Press Apply now. The site will ask you to sign in or create a candidate profile.
- Fill in your details and upload your CV, then submit.
What to prepare: a current CV, your national ID details, and your high school, diploma or degree certificate. The listing does not give a document list, so have these ready in case the form asks for them.
What happens after you apply: Kidana has not published interview dates, start dates or pay for this intake. Check the email and phone number on your profile regularly, and look at the careers site again for any change to the listing.
Do I need an agent or a fee?
No. Apply only on Kidana's careers site. The official listing mentions no fee of any kind, and no office, WhatsApp group or "agent" can reserve a Hajj job for you. Seasonal hiring can attract fake adverts; anyone who asks for a payment or a copy of your ID outside the official site should be ignored.
How can I improve my chances?
- Lead with Hajj or crowd experience. Past seasons, Umrah services, events, volunteering or security work all show you can cope with pressure.
- State your availability clearly. Full-time availability for the whole season is a listed condition, so write it in your CV summary.
- Match your field. Say whether your background is technical, engineering, financial or administrative, as these are the four fields named.
- Common mistakes: applying while studying or working full-time elsewhere during Hajj, leaving the profile half-finished, and uploading a CV with no dates.
Checklist: conditions read on the official page, profile completed, CV with dates uploaded, availability stated, application submitted.
What it means for job seekers
This is short-term work, but a Hajj season on your CV is useful experience if you want more work in pilgrim services. With no numbers or deadline published, nobody can promise a place. Applying early with a complete profile is the best you can do. For longer-term openings, see the new Saudization quota for engineering technician jobs.
