Hajj & Umrah Social Media Toolkit
Hajj is an annual Islamic religious pilgrimage to Makkah (Mecca) in Saudi Arabia. The dates for Hajj 1446H/2025 are expected to be 4–9 June 2025. Umrah is an Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah that can be undertaken at any time of the year.
Every year, the Ministry of Health of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia issues public health recommendations and regulations to help prevent and control health threats during Hajj and Umrah. This includes information on the required and recommended vaccinations needed for entry visas.
To help raise awareness, Public Health Scotland has created a social media toolkit with assets and captions which include pre-travel health advice and links to resources aimed to help prevent illness for those travelling to Hajj and Umrah.
All resources can be downloaded on the PHS Marketing Resource Centre.
Please regularly feed the social media assets into your planned activity, using the hashtag #Fit4Travel. Using the hashtag is important as it allows us to monitor usage, which informs future campaigns.
Please feel free to share these travel health resources with any relevant channels or networks.
Your support is much appreciated.
