iQIBLA Unveils New HajjBand 2 and Smart Ring Lineup Ahead of Jeddah Exhibition
Faith-tech brand iQIBLA announced its upcoming showcase at the 6th Hajj Conference and Exhibition (Hajjconfex 2026), slated to run from November 8 to 11 at the Jeddah Superdome, according to a press release distributed by EIN Presswire.
Operating under the theme “Technology That Cares for Your Hajj,” the company plans to introduce several new products tailored for pilgrims. The hardware lineup features the HajjBand 2 wristband, the Makkah Memo digital keepsake, and an expanded series of smart Zikr Rings.
Targeting Logistics and Safety Amid Vision 2030 Goals
Organized by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah under the patronage of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, Hajjconfex 2026 serves as a central hub for government entities, service providers, and technology developers.
For iQIBLA, the exhibition aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to welcome 30 million Umrah pilgrims annually by 2030. Company executives point to this regional expansion as a strategic priority, noting that their brand and marketing hub is based in the Kingdom.
“Participating in Hajjconfex is a defining moment for iQIBLA. Saudi Arabia is not just our market — it is our home and our inspiration. Every product we build begins with a question: how can technology help a pilgrim focus on what truly matters?”

The company reports that the HajjBand 2 is engineered to handle the rigorous physical demands of the pilgrimage. Key hardware functions include precise tracking and anti-loss through built-in high-precision GPS positioning, all-weather health monitoring of core data such as heart rate and blood oxygen, and an emergency rescue support function with a one-click SOS help-seeking feature.
Complementing the wristband is the Makkah Memo, a digital keepsake.
Expanding the Wearable Ecosystem
In addition to the new wrist-worn gear, iQIBLA is showcasing its latest Zikr Ring series, which includes the JOOD 3. According to company specifications, the ring weighs a few grams, carries an IP67 waterproof rating, and features a built-in Qibla direction function alongside automatic tasbih counting and programmable prayer time reminders.
Founded in 2021, iQIBLA has grown to serve over 5 million Muslims worldwide across more than 100 countries. During the four-day event at the Jeddah Superdome, company representatives plan to meet with regional distributors, pilgrimage operators, and prospective strategic partners at Booth No. U44 in Hall 2 to discuss future deployments.
