The Ministry of Religious Affairs has issued a directive, stipulating that intending pilgrims must receive vaccination at least five days prior to their departure for Saudi Arabia to undertake the Hajj pilgrimage. This requirement, deemed mandatory by an official of the Ministry, aims to ensure the health and safety of pilgrims during their journey and stay in Saudi Arabia.
Furthermore, each pilgrim will be provided with a comprehensive package, which includes a large travel bag, a small hand-carry bag, a shoe bag, an Ihram belt for men, and a scarf for women. These items are intended to facilitate the pilgrims during their journey and pilgrimage rituals.
The pre-Hajj Flight Operation is scheduled to commence from Thursday and will continue until the ninth of the following month. During this period, a total of over sixty-eight thousand intending pilgrims are expected to travel to Saudi Arabia through 259 flights organized under the Government Hajj Scheme for the current year. This initiative aims to facilitate the smooth and organized journey of pilgrims to perform their religious obligations in Saudi Arabia.
