Masyariq is a service provider company in Masya’ir (Arafat, Muzdalifah, and Mina) for pilgrims. Masyariq is a development of the institutional form of the muasasah. Before 2022, the service provider for Indonesian pilgrims in Masya’ir was known as Muasasah Southeast Asia (Muasasah Janub Syarq Asia).
At that time, its services were limited to Southeast Asian countries and after becoming a company, its name changed to Masyariq and its services were wider, not limited to Southeast Asian countries but also to other regions.
“I also saw the toilet and this is the most crucial. I saw that last year’s promise was kept for the addition of toilets. Alhamdulillah, hopefully next year there will be more toilets because there is still a lot of empty land that can be used to add toilets,” the Minister said.
