Around 200,000 pilgrims from within the Kingdom are expected to perform Haj this year. The Passport Department is expected to begin issuing Haj permits to local pilgrims soon.
The Dawah Center in Rawdah is offering an eight-day package for SR2,500 for singles, which includes all three meals.
Moulvi Ramzan of the center said: “We have divided the groups by the languages spoken by the pilgrims. The languages include, Tamil, Urdu, Bahasa Indonesia, Bengali and Tagalog.”
The Dawah groups in Shifa and Dallah have also arranged their own package to suit the purse of the pilgrims.
The travel operators undertake to process the Haj permits necessary for the pilgrimage. Pilgrims are required to fill out the standard forms issued by the Passport Department and submit them with the copies of iqama, passport, certificate of vaccination against meningitis, employer’s consent letter and three photographs of the pilgrim.
Local pilgrims are allowed to perform Haj once in five years. Those intending to perform pilgrimage this year could log on to the online service of the Ministry of Interior to check their eligibility.
The Kingdom makes arrangements for the pilgrims to offer their sacrifice through the Saudi Project for Utilization of Haj Meat in coordination with the Islamic Development Bank (IDB).
