مؤسسة الطوافة
The Tawafa system evolved from the historical tradition of Makkan families hosting jamaah haji from specific regions. In the modern era, the Saudi government formalized this into institutional establishments. The main Tawafa Establishments include: the National Tawafa Establishment for Pilgrims of South Asia, the National Tawafa Establishment for Pilgrims of Southeast Asia, the National Tawafa Establishment for Pilgrims of Arab Countries, the National Tawafa Establishment for Pilgrims of African non-Arab Countries, the National Tawafa Establishment for Pilgrims of Turkey and Muslims of Europe/Americas/Australia, and the National Tawafa Establishment for Pilgrims of Iran. Each establishment employs mutawwifs (guides) who speak the relevant languages and understand the cultural contexts of their jamaah haji. The establishments coordinate with the Ministry of Haji, Haji operators from sending countries, and local service providers in Mekkah to ensure a smooth ibadah haji experience.
