Alfares International Supports Hajj 2026 with 200,000+ sqm of Temporary Infrastructure Across Arafat

Every year, Hajj brings together millions of Muslims from around the world in one of the largest annual gatherings of faith. Long before pilgrims arrive in Arafat, an extensive effort takes place behind the scenes to prepare the temporary infrastructure that supports a safe, organized, and comfortable pilgrimage.

For Hajj 2026, Alfares International played a significant role in these preparations by delivering 15% of Arafat’s tented infrastructure, helping create the spaces that welcomed millions of pilgrims during one of the most important events in the Islamic calendar.

Delivering Temporary Infrastructure for Hajj

As one of the leading providers of temporary structural solutions in the Middle East, Alfares International successfully completed more than 200,000 square meters of tented infrastructure across 23 locations in Arafat.

The entire project was delivered within 50 days, demonstrating the company’s ability to execute large-scale temporary infrastructure projects under demanding timelines while maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety.

The completed structures formed part of the essential infrastructure supporting the annual Hajj pilgrimage, providing functional, reliable, and purpose-built spaces for pilgrims.

Manufactured and Built in Saudi Arabia

Supporting local industry was an important part of the project.

The structures were manufactured and built in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, using 70% locally sourced materials, including structural, electrical, mechanical, and numerous other essential project components.

By maximizing local sourcing and manufacturing capabilities, Alfares International contributed to efficient project delivery while supporting Saudi Arabia’s industrial ecosystem and local value creation.

Powered by More Than 700 Professionals

Behind every completed structure was a multidisciplinary team of more than 700 professionals, including project managers, civil engineers, electricians, technicians, logistics specialists, supervisors, and skilled workers.

Working simultaneously across 23 locations, the team coordinated manufacturing, logistics, installation, and quality control to deliver every stage of the project on schedule.

The scale of the project reflects Alfares International’s ability to manage complex temporary infrastructure developments for major national events and large-scale gatherings.

Safety at Every Stage

Large-scale temporary infrastructure projects require more than speed and engineering expertise, they require an unwavering commitment to safety.

Despite the size and complexity of the project, Alfares International successfully completed the entire scope in 50 days with zero recorded injuries.

This achievement reflects the company’s commitment to international safety standards, careful planning, and protecting every member of its workforce throughout project execution.

Supporting One of the World's Largest Gatherings

Preparing Arafat for Hajj involves far more than installing temporary structures.

Every tent, structural component, and support system contributes to creating an environment where millions of pilgrims can focus on their spiritual journey with confidence and comfort.

For Alfares International, this project represents more than engineering excellence. It reflects the responsibility of supporting one of the world’s largest annual gatherings through reliable temporary infrastructure, local manufacturing, and dedicated teamwork.

As Hajj continues to bring millions of pilgrims together each year, Alfares International tenst and construction metal remains committed to delivering innovative temporary structural solutions, temporary event infrastructure, and large-scale tented structures that serve communities, governments, and landmark events across Saudi Arabia, the GCC, and beyond.
