TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A total of 32,797 Indonesian Hajj pilgrims have returned to the homeland, arriving at various embarkation points across Indonesia. Out of the total 525 groups set to return home, 84 groups of hajj pilgrims have touched down on Indonesian soil.

This figure is equivalent to 16 percent of the total number of returning hajj groups. The Jakarta Pondok Gede (JKG) and Surabaya (SUB) arrivals were the largest, with 16 groups each.

This data is recorded in the Integrated Hajj Information and Computerized System (SISKOHAT) website on June 16, 2025, accessed at 8:00 p.m. Jakarta time. 

Hajj pilgrims have been departing for Indonesia since June 11. On Monday, June 16, a total of 25 groups were scheduled to return to the homeland.

"For Hajj pilgrims who do not immediately return home or are awaiting their families to pick them up, they can stay for one night in the Hajj dormitories," said the Head of the Media Center for Hajj (MCH) Mecca Working Area, Dodo Murtado, as quoted from the official website of the Ministry of Religious Affairs on Monday, June 16, 2025.

He added that upon arrival at the Hajj dormitory, pilgrims will receive a welcoming light snack service. The Hajj dormitory has also prepared transportation facilities from the airport to the dormitory.

Additionally, the Hajj dormitory has also prepared ambulances and minibuses to transport sick, elderly, or disabled pilgrims, as well as trucks to carry their luggage. Various health facilities and services are also available at the Hajj dormitory to support pilgrims upon their arrival in the homeland.
